Look on line 28 of your Form 1040. Is there an amount there? If you claimed your children as dependents, and if you entered the amount of the advance child tax credit payments you received between July and December, then the other half of the child tax credit goes on line 28, and calculates down to your total refund, as shown on line 35a. It is part of your refund. It is not sent as a separate check.
