If we only got half what about the other half of the child tax credit

[Critter-3]

The other 1/2 that you qualify for will be on the return form 1040 line 28 ... just follow the program interview to report the amount you already got in advance.

You claim the other half when you file your tax return.

Important changes to the Child Tax Credit helped many families get advance payments of the credit:

• Half the total credit amount was paid in advance monthly payments in 2021. See the payment date schedule.
• You claim the other half when you file your 2021 income tax return.

Advance payments were sent automatically to eligible people.
