IRS Announces Issuance of Information Letters to Advance Child Tax Credit Recipients

The IRS announced that it would issue information letters to Advance Child Tax Credit (APTC) recipients starting in December and to recipients of the third round of the Economic Impact Payments (EIPs) at the end of January. Using this information when preparing a tax return can reduce errors and delays in processing. The Service also urged taxpayers receiving these letters to make sure they hold onto them to assist them in preparing their 2021 federal tax returns in 2022. Taxpayers can use the CTC portal to check their payments.

The IRS will send Letter 6419, 2021 advance CTC, starting late December 2021 and continuing into January. The letter will include the total amount of ACTC payments taxpayers received in 2021 and the number of qualifying children used to calculate the advance payments. Taxpayers should keep this and any other IRS letters about ACTC payments with their tax records.
