Child Tax credit

[ranjeetpandav]

My daughter was on ITIN until May 2021. We got her SSN number in May 2021. I have two questions:

1. Does she eligible for child tax credit for 2021, If Yes how can I claim her child tax credit?

2. Does she eligible for stimulus we got beginning of this year? If yes, how can I claim this?

Your child must be a U.S. citizen, a U.S. national or a U.S. resident alien. (For tax purposes, the term "U.S. national" refers to individuals who were born in American Samoa or in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands.)

Here is more information for the eligibility tests for the child tax credit in 2021.

Here are the eligibility requirements for the Third Stimulus payment.  If your child is eligible and you have not received, you will receive as a Recovery Rebate Credit when you file your 2020 tax return.

I hope you find this helpful!

Thank you for your reply.

For third stimulus payment, you mean to say 2021 tax returns?

Correct, the third stimulus payment will be reconciled on your 2021 tax return!
