Child Tax Credit Non-filer Sign-up Tool

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.

Stimulus Check Update!!

Share this information with your family, relatives, friends and neighbors.

If you didn't file a federal tax return in 2018 or 2019, you can now go to this site set up by the IRS to enter your information to receive your stimulus payment check.

Congress approved these payments as part of corona virus relief. Individuals with social security numbers earning under $75,000 can get $1,200 and $500 for every qualified child; married couples earning $150,000 or less could get $2,400. A smaller payment is available for individuals earning less than $99,000 (or $198,000 for joint filers).

If you did file a return last year but didn't provide the IRS with your bank account information, you'll soon be able to supply them with your account info for direct deposit. Check back to this site in mid-April to enter that information.

Taxpayers that filed in either 2018 or 2019 and provided their bank account information will get their payments direct deposited automatically. Otherwise, the IRS will mail checks to taxpayers over the coming weeks and months.
