    Congratulations on your new little one. Babies born before December 31, 2021 will be eligible for up to $3600 (decreasing based on parent's income). The IRS has created a portal which will be available to add and make changes to dependents (late summer) at https://www.irs.gov/credits-deductions/child-tax-credit-update-portal. If you do not change your dependent in this portal, there is an option to reconcile these funds on your 2021 taxes (filed 2022).
