Deductions & credits

Yes. For every dependent child under the age of 6, families will get up to $3,600 under the expansion, or $300 per month. For every dependent child ages 6-17, the amount is $3,000, or $250 per month. 

 

The amount starts phasing out for families with higher incomes, above $150,000 for married couples filing jointly, or $112,500 for single parents who file as head of household.

 

You will probably need to receive the payments in 2022 when you file your 2021 tax return. I would still try the IRS website to see if you are able to update your record.
