If you received an advance Child Tax Credit payment in 2021, be on the lookout for IRS letter 6419. The IRS is sending out an important notice in January to those who received advance Child Tax Credit payments in 2021.

This important letter will help you report your advance payments correctly and claim the remaining half of your Child Tax Credit. Additionally, using the amounts in the IRS letter can help you quickly and accurately file your tax return and avoid delays in processing your return and sending your refund.

If you were not required to file a tax return and have not filed one for 2020 or 2019, use the Non-Filer Sign Up Tool. This tool allows you to file a simplified tax return to register to receive Advance Child Tax Credit payments.
