You should wait for your letters 6419 from the IRS. They were in the mail yesterday.
If you are filing a married filing jointly tax return, you should enter the Advance Child Tax Credit payment amounts at the screen Tell us about any Advance Child Tax Credits. Enter the amount for each spouse that is reported on the individual IRS Letter 6419.
In January 2022, the IRS will send you Letter 6419 to provide the total amount of Advance Child Tax Credit payments that were disbursed to you during 2021. You and your spouse will each receive your own letter with the total you each received.
TurboTax software will generate the credit, deduct the advance payments and post a Child Tax Credit on line 28 of the Federal 1040.
You may view the entry under Tax Tools / Tools / View Tax Summary / Preview my 1040.
TurboTax will compute the full amount of the Child Tax Credit if you:
- Enter a dependent in your tax return and
- The dependent qualifies as a qualifying child.
