If a dependent is born in 2021 are we getting 3,600 back ?

Yes you will get the Child Tax Credit as a credit on your tax return.  It will add to your refund or reduce a tax due.

Be sure you said the new baby lived with you the WHOLE YEAR!  Go back and check that.

If you had a child born in 2021- Add them under My Info. You need to answer 2 questions…..

Did your child live with you for the whole year? Answer YES even if they were born late in the year (even on Dec 31).

Then was at least half of child's expenses paid by CHILD? Usually is NO.

What VolvoGirl said - and more! $3600 + 1400 = $5000 ...
