Question

I filed my taxes before the pandemic relief bill was passed so I only got $1k for my dependent. Will I still get the $3000 even though I have already filed my taxes?

No. Starting in July, payments for the Credit will be sent in advance so you won’t have to wait to file your 2021 taxes to receive that amount.

 

You don’t have to do anything to get these payments. The IRS will likely determine eligibility based on your most recent tax filing.

 

Starting in tax year 2021, the Plan increases the Child Tax Credit from $2,000 to:

  • $3,600 for each child under 6
  • $3,000 for each child age 6–17

It also makes the credit fully refundable, meaning you’ll be eligible to get it even if you don’t owe taxes.

Thank you for your response. So just to reiterate, I will get the $3000 child tax credit in July for each qualifying dependent. My taxes that have already been filed in February will be paid out as normal? Thanks again!

Yes, your taxes that you have filed for 2020 will be paid out in the usual way.
