When will forms be available for child tax credit

Are you asking about the "Additional Child Tax Credit" Schedule 8812?

 

If so, that form is scheduled to become available for printing or efiling on January 15.  You can check on any Federal forms availability at the link below:

State Forms Availability Table:

NOTE:  By law, the IRS will not issue a refund on tax returns claiming the Earned Income Tax Credit or Additional Child Tax Credit until Feb. 15 at the earliest.

 

So don't be in too big a hurry.   The IRS doesn't open up to start processing returns until January 27.   If you efile before then, your return will just sit on TurboTax servers until the IRS retrieves it on Jan. 27.    If you efile before January 27 and discover an error you need to correct, you can't retrieve the return.    If the IRS accepts the return on or after Jan. 27, then the only way to correct anything is with an amended return.
