Yep! I got reprimanded when speaking to a Tax Advocate for amending my return and said that this IS the reason for my delayed CTC payment. What I find incredibly amazing in all of this is that this credit was made to be available NOW and the sole purpose was for ADVANCED payments in order to help families in need due to the struggle we have faced during the Pandemic. Now we are made to wait for it due to the misinformation and miscommunication sent directly our way. I find it unacceptable that we are on HOLD for the funds. I do not understand why they cannot just provide the tax payment and clean it up on their end in the background. This is insane. So many of us are using our credit to buy groceries and pay bills and/or have been made to ask family to help support our families - when in fact we are being denied our money that would keep us afloat. I am just sick about how ridiculous this has been. To not have received a penny of this credit this entire time for the fact that I amended my return, which I was directed to do and actually the appropriate measure, its just heartbreaking for my family
