Advance Child Tax Credit Payments


UPDATE:    The IRS and U.S. Treasury are now delivering advance payments of the Child Tax Credit to eligible families. Most members will start receiving payments automatically starting Thursday, July 15, 2021.
 
Monthly payments will be sent to eligible families by the IRS via direct deposit, paper check, or debit card through December 2021. There is nothing you need to do to receive these advanced monthly payments if you qualify.


Helpful Resources


To avoid potential delays, the IRS recommends that all potentially eligible families:
  • File outstanding tax returns as soon as possible
  • Ensure your mailing address is accurate and current with the IRS
  • Ensure your banking information is accurate and current with the IRS
For the most up-to-date information including whether you’re eligible, how you’ll get paid, and when you’ll receive payment, or to update your personal information, visit the IRS website.

Generally, nothing. If you are eligible to receive advance Child Tax Credit payments based on your 2020 or 2019 tax return, you should receive those payments automatically without needing to take any additional action.

However, if you have not filed your 2020 or 2019 tax return, the IRS recommends  that you file your tax returns electronically and provide your account information to begin receiving payments by direct deposit.

The most convenient way to deposit a paper check is through Remote Deposit in the Mobile App, or in person at a Branch Depository Drop Box, Credit Union West Branch ATM.
