topic I filed my 2020 taxes before the increase in child tax credit, is there anything I can do to get past year’s increase as a credit on my 2021 filing? in Deductions & credits https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/tax-credits-deductions/discussion/i-filed-my-2020-taxes-before-the-increase-in-child-tax-credit-is-there-anything-i-can-do-to-get-past/01/2504532#M238229 I had one child under 6 at the end of 2020 so I received the $2,000 credit when I filed my taxes at the start of February but then the tax credit went up to $3,600 when Biden signed the American Rescue Plan in the middle of March. I didn’t do anything to amend my 2020 filing so is there anything I can do to get that $1,600 difference as a credit on my 2021 tax filing?
