Deductions & credits

Let's please clarify-----there is a way that divorced/not married parents can alternate who claimed a child and each end up getting stimulus money for the same child. 

 

I have seen nothing to indicate that two divorced/not married parents can both get the CTC for the same child on a 2021 tax return.

 

If someone gets advance CTC payments for a child they cannot claim on a 2021 tax return they should end up repaying it or losing the credit when they reconcile it on their 2021 tax return.
