@Brvanden "Advance " CTC payments were not sent for children born in 2021. But you can get the full amount of the 2021 CTC on your 2021 tax return.
Make sure you have entered your child as a dependent in My Info, and that you have entered the child's Social Security number. Careful— do not say that your child’s SSN is not valid for employment. If your child was born in 2021make sure you said he lived with you the whole year. There is an oddly worded question that asks if the child paid over half their own support. Say NO to that question.
If you had no other children claimed on a 2020 return then you would not have received letter 6419. That letter only went to parents or people who actually received advance CTC payments.
Make sure you claimed your baby and that the child is shown as a dependent on your Form 1040. You should see the full $3600 CTC on line 28 of your Form 1040 and then 3rd EIP on line 30.

NOTE: The CTC is indeed a “credit” that can be applied toward any tax liability that you would otherwise have to pay as “tax due” to the IRS.
