To be eligible, Advance Child Tax Credit Payments, you must file a 2019 or 2020 Federal Income Tax return or use the non-tax filer tool located on the IRS website.
If you signed up to receive the stimulus payment, it is not required to sign up for the Child Tax Credit program using the non-tax filer tool. The IRS will automatically register qualified households for the Child Tax Credit based on data provided in your most recent return. Eligible beneficiaries should also receive detailed information through e-mails regarding upcoming scheduled payments, based on your Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) information from your most recent tax return.
