Federal Child Tax Credit (CTC):
Mayor Muriel Bowser joins the Biden-Harris Administration in highlighting the Child Tax Credit sign up tool to help get working families relief.
The expanded Child Tax Credit in the American Rescue Plan provides $3,000 per child for children 6-17 years old and $3,600 per child for children under the age of 6 years old to families making less than $150,000 or single parent families making less than $112,500 annually. Payments will be disbursed beginning July 15, 2021.
The new Child Tax Credit Eligibility Assistant allows families to answer a series of questions to quickly determine whether they qualify for the advance credit.
The Child Tax Credit Update Portal allows families to verify their eligibility for the payments and if they choose to, unenroll, or opt out from receiving the monthly payments so they can receive a lump sum when they file their tax return next year. This secure, password-protected tool is available to any eligible family with internet access and a smart phone or computer. Future versions of the tool planned in the summer and fall will allow people to view their payment history, adjust bank account information or mailing addresses and other features. A Spanish version is also planned.
Both the Child Tax Credit Eligibility Assistant and Child Tax Credit Update Portal are available now on www.IRS.gov
For tax year 2021, families claiming the CTC will receive up to $3,000 per qualifying child between the ages of 6 and 17 at the end of 2021. They will receive $3,600 per qualifying child under age 6 at the end of 2021. Under the prior law, the amount of the CTC was up to $2,000 per qualifying child under the age of 17 at the end of the year
