 I didn't know I was supposed to update my dependent through the IRS Portal.  How do I get it usin TurboTax? Or will I get it Automatically.  I did add my dependent on my Personal portions of TurboTax!

 If you didn’t receive any payment, answer No on the Tell us about any advance Child Tax Credit payments screen when you go through the Child Tax Credit section.  You can get the full amount on your return this year.

 

  1. Sign in to TurboTax and open or continue your return.
  2. Search for Child Tax Credit and Continue.
  3. Answer the question on the Let's start with where you spent the most time in 2021 screen and Continue.
  4. On the Tell us about any advance Child Tax Credit payments screen, answer No if you didn't receive any payment and continue. 

If you qualify for the credit the amount should end up on line 28 of your Form 1040.

I had one child who I had all year and one that was born in July.  I got what was paid in advance an 2,000 more that shows up for her but nothing for the one that was born in July?  Do I have to manually enter something somewhere else?

For the child born in July 2021, when entering her information in TurboTax, make sure to indicate that she lived with you the WHOLE year and to enter her SSN.

 

TurboTax will then make her your dependent and she will be eligible for the child tax credit of $3,600 (subject to income limitations).
