I never received the payments each month for my child "relief" program over the last year, as I wanted them as a tax refund. Where do I find this information?

Those monthly child tax credit payments were made ONLY in 2021. There were no such payments in 2022.

And the rules for the child tax credit are different and less generous for your 2022 return.

Have you entered income from working in 2022? If not, you will not receive an income tax refund based on having dependent children.

The rules for getting the child tax credit on a 2021 tax return and now on a 2022 return are very different. For 2021 you could get $3600 for a child under 6 or $3000 for a child between 6 and 17 even if you had no income/did not work. That is NOT the way it will work for your 2022 tax return. The “old” rules are back. The maximum amount of the child tax credit is now $2000 per child; the refundable “additional child tax credit” amount is $1500. In order to get that credit, you have to have income from working. The credit is calculated based on the amount you earned above $2500 multiplied by 15%, up to the full $1500 per child. If your child is older than 16 at the end of 2022, you do not get the CTC. But you may still get the non-refundable $500 credit for other dependents instead.

As stated by xmasbaby0, Advanced payments for Child Tax Credit were not issued for 2022.

Plus the credit reverts back to up to $2,000 for 2022 – 2025. Each dependent child must be under age 17. Refundable up to $1,400, but no longer fully refundable.
