That is my worry, that I will not receive those payments next year because me and my ex alternate years on claiming my daughter. And he will probably be the one to get those payments.


@heidigsilva  If 2021 is your year to claim your daughter, you will get the full child tax credit for her. Any amount that you don't get as advance payments, you will get as a credit on your 2021 tax return. The monthly payments are an advance of the Child Tax Credit on your 2021 tax return.


The monthly advance payments of the Child Tax Credit are only for 2021. There will be no monthly payments in 2022.
