I tried to file my taxes early since I am a single stay at home mom. I didn’t receive child tax credit advance payments since I had my baby in 2021 and I missed the deadline to update my information in the irs portal. When I tried to file my taxes just now the only question pertaining to the child tax credit is if I received payments or not. Of course I clicked no since I haven’t but it is saying I’m not eligible when my daughter is my dependent. So my question is how do I receive the child tax credit for my baby when I didn’t receive advance payments?
