Well, in both of our cases, the child WAS under 18 when the government determined we needed the extra money and started sending it. Now its created a tax burden in my case that we were not expecting because it doubled the amount we should have received based on having one child under 18 for the full 2021 tax year. This CTC is an absolute disaster and is now creating a greater tax liablility for my family. How does that help us? Thanks US Goverment. I guess Reagan was right by saying "The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the Government, and I'm here to help. "
