Child Tax Credit Update Portal | Internal Revenue Service

The IRS is now taking tax returns for 2021. Here is some info for parents. If you have questions, please contact a CPA for expert advice.

"The biggie this year is the advance Child Tax Credit and Letter 6419. Many parents have received an advance on the Child Tax Credit (aka the CTC). The advance is new to 2021 and the IRS is sending Letter 6419 informing tax payers how much they received. If you have not received it, you are able to check how much your received on the IRS’ CTC portal (https://www.irs.gov/credits-deductions/child-tax-credit-update-portal). For divorced couples who alternate claiming kids, this can create some issues as the “wrong” parent may have received the advance CTC. This is because the IRS sent out these payments based on who was on the prior tax return."

"There is another newbie this year related to the Economic Impact Payment (aka the Stimulus Payment) and Letter 6475. The $1,400 stimulus payment started going out in March 2021 and the IRS will send a letter (Letter 6475) informing you how much your family received. This may also create difficulties for those who alternate claiming children on the tax returns for the same reason as above. This can be a big one for those who are divorcing if there are stimulus payments in the coming years."

"Healthcare Exchange and Form 1095-A is another one that has flip flopped the last couple years. Anyone who was on your Heathcare plan through the exchange (aka Obamacare) should be on your tax return. If they are not on the tax return, you may have to pay back any subsidies allocated to that individual. This can be a big one for those who are divorcing."
