I just got the first CTC payment and it was only for $250 for my 6yr old son, i have a daughter who is almost 2yrs old who I am not getting CTC $ for. how can i fix this, i dont see an option on the IRS website.

The option to make a correction is not yet operational  so if you don't get it fixed you will just get the credit on the 2021 return.

If your older child is 6 by the end of 2021 then $250 is the correct amount for him.   When the IRS portal is fully functional you will be able to enter the information to get the CTC for the younger child --- her amount should be $300 since she will be UNDER 6 at the end of 2021.
