Our child is 18 months old, we did not receive any advanced child tax credit payments, when I enter my tax information into TurboTax it states we are only eligible for a $500.00 Child Tax Credit. We never received a letter from the IRS regarding the advanced child tax payments. We should be eligible for $3600.00? We select that we did not receive the advance payments. What are my options?

You probably entered something wrong when entering the child as a dependent.  You needed to select that the child lived with you for the Whole Year since the child was born in 2021.  This would allow you to get the full $3,600 for the Child Tax Credit.

Go back to Personal Info and carefully review all your entries for the child.
