If families didn’t make enough to be required to file taxes in 2020 or 2019, they can still get benefits by signing up using the IRS non-filer portal. They can also find out whether they are eligible and enrolled to receive their payment using the IRS online tool. The tool also allows individuals to provide or update bank account information or unenroll from advance payments.

Important changes to the Child Tax Credit will help many families get advance payments of the Child Tax Credit starting in the summer of 2021.
The IRS will pay half the total credit amount in advance monthly payments. You will claim the other half when you file your 2021 income tax return. We’ll make the first advance payment on July 15, 2021. For a full schedule of payments, see When will the IRS begin issuing the advance Child Tax Credit?

Who Should Use This Tool
Use this tool to report your qualifying children born before 2021 if you:

  • Are not required to file a 2020 tax return, didn’t file one and don’t plan to; and

  • Have a main home in the United States for more than half of the year.

Also, if you did not get the full amounts of the first and second Economic Impact Payment, you may use this tool if you:

  • Are not required to file a 2020 tax return, didn’t file and don’t plan to, and

  • Want to claim the 2020 Recovery Rebate Credit and get your third Economic Impact Payment.
