After you file

Please check line 28 of Form 1040 for your remaining Child Tax Care Credit amount.

 

Please be aware that your Child Tax Credit will be reduced if your modified adjusted gross income (AGI) is more than,

  • $150,000 if you're Married Filing Jointly or a Qualifying Widow
  • $112,500 if you're filing as Head of Household, or
  • $75,000 if you're Married Filing Separately or Single

 

Please see What is the Child Tax Credit? and IRS 2021 Child Tax Credit and Advance Child Tax Credit Payments FAQ for additional information.

 

 

If you believe you are eligible to claim the credit but don't see it on your return then you will have to amend your return after the original refund has been processed.  Please see How to amend a tax return for instructions (this will be updated once the 2021 Form 1040-X is ready).
