Hello!
I had a baby in august 2020. My husband and I self prepared our taxes for this past year and we were not eligible for the child tax credit as the baby technically had not lived with us for more than half of 2020. We did receive $500 for the “other dependent credit” but now I’m not sure if that is correct. I was hoping/assuming we would receive the recent monthly child tax credit July 15 but we did not. Did we do something wrong when we filed for 2020? Will we receive the credit when we file for 2021? I am so confused, any help will be appreciated!
