Making a Claim for a New Family Member's Child Tax Credit

Making a Claim for a New Family Member’s Child Tax Credit

Posted on by

The Child Tax Credit is available to babies born this year and newly adopted youngsters.

The enhanced Child Tax Credit for 2021 has been a financial windfall for parents, pouring funds into bank accounts at a time when many are in desperate need. And, according to some MPs (from both parties), the Child Tax Credit may be extended forever.

Prior to the epidemic, parents could receive a $2,000 Child Tax Credit in a single lump payment while filing their taxes. In essence, this meant they were collecting finances for their children a year behind schedule. It seems to have worked out nicely, and there haven’t been many complaints. Nonetheless, one of the ways the Biden administration has attempted to boost the economy while also assisting average people is via credit expansion. Parents may now claim $3,600 instead of $2,000 for children under the age of six and $3,000 for children from six to seventeen.

Every month, one-twelfth of the credit is put into the recipient’s bank account. That means a parent will get $300 per month for a kid under the age of six and $250 for a youngster from six to seventeen.

Only half of the Child Tax Credit will be paid out by the end of the year, when the program is set to expire. Parents will be able to register for the other half of the credit when they submit their 2021 tax returns early next year if Congress does not approve to prolong the program.

The number of new children is important

When the program was originally implemented, it became evident that the quickest method for the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to send checks to families was to use 2020 tax returns to determine who would get a check (and how much they would receive).

However, some children who were born or adopted this year may have fallen through the gaps. The IRS is unaware of their existence, and some parents may not realize that it is their responsibility to notify the IRS that their kid has arrived.

Other parents are aware of the tax credit and have elected to claim it on their 2021 taxes. That’s not a bad concept, especially if a family is in good financial standing and doesn’t require the money on a monthly basis to pay basics.

If you want to be a part of the upfront contributions

If you’re the parent of a new kid, regardless of how they came into your family, and you’d want to get a few months’ worth of Child Tax Credit payments in your bank account, you’ll soon be able to do so using the IRS’s Child Tax Credit Update Portal. While we don’t know when the IRS would enable parents to change the number (and ages) of their children, the IRS has said that telling them about the qualified children you want to claim on your 2021 tax return will be feasible shortly.

If you don’t get your kid enrolled this fall, the good news is that it will be time to submit your 2021 tax return in just a few months. And, if you’re qualified, you’ll be able to claim the whole tax credit at that time.

President Biden has made no secret of his desire for the Child Tax Credit to be extended until 2025. If legislators agree to Biden’s idea, you’ll still be able to retrieve whatever payments you missed and start receiving monthly checks on your child’s behalf.
