Hello please I have a question and my question is can a child who was born in April 2021 qualify for the monthly child credit.

 

Thanks so much, hope you will reply me soon


The IRS was supposed to update their portal Manage Payments so a child born in 2021 could be eligible for the monthly Advanced Child Tax Credit payments in 2021.  This has not happened and there is a good chance it will not happen this year.

Go to this IRS website for the portal - https://www.irs.gov/credits-deductions/advance-child-tax-credit-payments-in-2021

Go to this IRS website for information concerning the portal updates - https://www.irs.gov/credits-deductions/2021-child-tax-credit-and-advance-child-tax-credit-payments-t...

 

You will be able to add your child as a dependent on your 2021 tax return and if eligible receive the Child Tax Credit on your 2021 tax return.
