Deductions & credits

You are filing a tax return separate from your spouse, and you received no Advance Child Tax Credit payments, so report $0 received.

 

Your spouse is filing a separate tax return, so report the Advance Child Tax Credit payments reported on the spouse's IRS Letter 6419.

 

Report the Advance Child Tax Credit payments received under Federal / Deductions & Credits / Your tax breaks / Advance payments, Child and Other Dependent Tax Credits at the screen Tell us about any Advance Child Tax Credit payments.

  • In box 1 report the amount of the advance payments. 
  • In box 2 report the number of qualifying children listed on your IRS Letter 6419, not the number of qualifying children you are reporting on your 2021 Federal 1040 tax return.
