Actually the rules are different for ONLY 2021---a child who is not 18 by the end of 2021 gets the child tax credit. If she was younger than 18 at the end of 2021--good news--- you get the child tax credit. It will show up on line 28 of your Form 1040

Oh, I see, and then the confusing IRS advance payments are deducted from the credit. I REALLY wish they had left it alone. Taces were confusing enough already.
