The advance child tax credit you received already is not considered taxable income, so you don't pay tax on it. When you file your 2021 tax return, you can claim the 2nd half.
To check if you received additional child tax credit, follow these steps:
With your federal return open:
- Click on Show more next to You and Your Family under Deductions & Credits
- Click on Start or Revisit next to Advance payments, Child and Other Dependent Tax Credits
- Answer the questions on the screens that follow. Enter the amount you already received.
