Advance Child credit payment

[arakz728]

My wife and I have guardianship over Our Granddaughter, we claimed her as a dependent on our 2021 tax return, we received the economic stimulus check for her, we did not receive any of the advance child credit payments ($300.00 per month) that stated in July.  What do we need to do to receive the total advance child credit on our 2022 tax return.

I think you are mixed up on the years.  Last year you claimed her on your 2020 return.   We are just starting to file 2021 now.   If you didn't get the Child Credit for her you will get it on your tax return.

You are correct, I meant 2020 and 2021.  Thank you

Claim your granddaughter as a dependent on your 2021 tax return in order to get whatever child-related credits you are eligible to receive.   Watch line 28 on your Form 1040 for the child tax credit.
