Deductions & credits

Hello Again!!!

 

Yes the parent who is claiming the children in 2021 will get the Child Tax Credit on the 2021 Tax Return. That is why it is critical for the parent not claiming the to opt out. 

 

That way the parent who is not claiming the children will not have to pay the money back.
