I got CTC for the taxes I filed in 2019. I have yet to file my 2020 taxes.

Yes, you'll be able to get the Child Tax Credit (CTC) when you file your 2021 income tax return if you did not file your 2020 income tax return as long as you meet the requirements. Please see the information below:

Your modified adjusted gross income (AGI) is less than,

$150,000 if you're Married Filing Jointly or a Qualifying Widow
$112,500 if you're filing as Head of Household, or
$75,000 if you're Married Filing Separately or Single

To qualify, your child must meet all of these requirements:

Be under age 18 at the end of the tax year
Is your child, stepchild, foster child, adopted child, sibling, step sibling, half sibling, or a descendant of any of them (for example, a grandchild, niece, or nephew)
Has their own Social Security Number
- Children with ITINs don't qualify, but may instead be eligible for the $500 Credit for Other Dependents
Lived with you for more than half the year
Didn't support themself (didn't pay more than half their own expenses)
Is a U.S. citizen, U.S. national, or U.S. resident alien
- Residents of Canada or Mexico don't qualify

The Child Tax Credit is also fully refundable. Meaning that you’re eligible for the credit even if you don’t owe taxes.
