For 2018, I qualified for the child tax credit for the first time. Do I need to fill out a 8862 form? I did not receive one from IRS.

If you never received a letter from the IRS stating that you been disallowed the Earned Income Credit (EIC), American Opportunity Tax Credit (AOTC), Child Tax Credit (CTC), and /or Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC) then you do not need to file Form 8862.
