Are you able to view the computation that the software made for the Child Tax Credit?
Report the total amount of Advance Child Tax Credit payments that were disbursed to you during 2021. You may have received a Letter 6419 from the IRS. You and your spouse may have each received your own letter with the total you each received.
The amount of Advance Child Tax Credit payments will be entered at the screen Tell us about any Advance Child Tax Credits.
If you can view the entire 2021 1040 Federal tax return at Tax Tools / Print Center, you will see:
- Line 12 of Federal Schedule 8812 which computes the total Child Tax Credit, and
- Line 28 of the Federal 1040 which reports the refundable amount.
The full amount of the Child Tax Credit is not reported on the 2021 1040 Federal tax return, only the net amount after applying the advance payments.
To view Federal 1040 line 28, go to Tax Tools / Tools / View Tax Summary / Preview my 1040.
