Deductions & credits

You do not need to stop if you know the amount of advance child tax credit (ACTC) your daughter received.  Enter the total as if you did receive the letter from the IRS. Then continue with the tax return and your daughter will receive any amount she is still entitled to (usually the other half since only half was released in advance).

 

The IRS is getting letters out very late and I know of one case where a letter was received just this week.  You should not be afraid to proceed with the tax return.  TurboTax wanted to give warning to eliminate wait times for errors due to this special situation for 2021.

 

Keep in mind that you did check the IRS Portal which is as good as a letter.
