Deductions & credits

For your 2021 tax return you can still get the chid tax credit even if you have no earned income or taxable income.  Prepare and file a 2021 return to claim your dependent child(ren) to get the child tax credit.   If you have received any of the advance monthly payments during 2021 you will need to enter the amount already received, and the amount will be reconciled so that you receive the balance of the CTC as a refund.
