frequently asked questions
FS-2022-17, March 2022
This Fact Sheet updates the 2021 Child Tax Credit and Advance Child Tax Credit frequently asked questions (FAQs). These
updates are to help eligible families properly claim the credit when they prepare and file their 2021 tax return.
These FAQs revisions are as follows:

These FAQs are being issued to provide general information to taxpayers and tax professionals as expeditiously as
possible. Accordingly, these FAQs may not address any particular taxpayer’s specific facts and circumstances, and they
may be updated or modified upon further review. Because these FAQs have not been published in the Internal Revenue
Bulletin, they will not be relied on or used by the IRS to resolve a case. Similarly, if an FAQ turns out to be an inaccurate
statement of the law as applied to a particular taxpayer’s case, the law will control the taxpayer’s tax liability.

Nonetheless, a taxpayer who reasonably and in good faith relies on these FAQs will not be subject to a penalty that
provides a reasonable cause standard for relief, including a negligence penalty or other accuracy-related penalty, to
the extent that reliance results in an underpayment of tax. Any later updates or modifications to these FAQs will be
dated toenable taxpayers to confirm the date on which any changes to the FAQs were made. Additionally, prior
versions of theseFAQs will be maintained on IRS.gov to ensure that taxpayers, who may have relied on a prior version,
can locate that version if they later need to do so.

How to reconcile Your Advance Child Tax Credit Payments on Your 2021 Tax Return

A1. When you file your 2021 tax return during the 2022 tax filing season, you will need to compare:

The total amount of the advance Child Tax Credit payments that you received during 2021; with
The amount of the Child Tax Credit that you can properly claim on your 2021 tax return.
Excess Child Tax Credit Amount: If the amount of your Child Tax Credit exceeds the total amount of your advance Child Tax Credit payments, you can claim the remaining amount of your Child Tax Credit on your 2021 tax return.

Excess Advance Child Tax Credit Payment Amount: If you received a total amount of advance Child Tax Credit payments that exceeds the amount of Child Tax Credit that you can properly claim on your 2021 tax year, you may need to repay to the IRS some or all of that excess payment.

In January 2022, the IRS will send you Letter 6419 to provide the total amount of advance Child Tax Credit payments that were disbursed to you during 2021. Please keep this letter regarding your advance Child Tax Credit payments with your tax records. You may need to refer to this letter when you file your 2021 tax return during the 2022 tax filing season.
