I'm sorry that you are having trouble receiving your advanced Child Tax Credit.  If the IRS Portal acknowledges that you are eligible and you have filed your 2020 taxes you should have received your first payment based on the following schedule:  

 Advance Child Tax Credit payments will be disbursed in monthly installments starting July 15, 2021 through December 2021. More details about when you should expect to receive advance Child Tax Credit payments will be provided soon.

Payment Month	Payment Date
July	7/15/2021
August	8/13/2021
September	9/15/2021
October	10/15/2021
November	11/15/2021
December	12/15/2021

I recommend that you check the IRS Portal to verify/update your bank information.  Please see the following link.  Please keep in mind, the IRS is still working on the Portal and will have all tools updated by the end of summer.  Here is the link for the Portal:  https://www.irs.gov/credits-deductions/child-tax-credit-update-portal

No it did not solve anything. You just gave me a link I already know about and I still never got my payment.

Unfortunately, TurboTax cannot help you with this. 

We cannot see any of your information so we do not know what the portal is telling you or why it says you are not eligible yet.    This is a brand new system thrown together by the IRS after Congress changed tax laws in the middle of the tax season.  There are going to be bugs, glitches and mistakes made and folks will unfortunately have to be patient until they sort it out.  

If you do not receive the monthly payments you will be able to get the CTC on your 2021 tax return.
