2021 Child Tax Credit Information
2021 Child Tax Credit Payments:
Resources and Guidance
The Child Tax Credit means help directly in the bank accounts of the families who need it and will automatically get monthly payments starting July 15th – no action needed. Families with children who are low-income are eligible for the Advance Child Tax Credit.
The Child Tax Credit in the American Rescue Plan provides the largest Child Tax Credit ever and historic relief to the most working families ever – and most families will automatically receive monthly payments without having to take any action.
There have been changes to the Child Tax Credit that will benefit many families as they receive advance payments. For those with children, the American Rescue Plan increased the Child Tax Credit from $2,000 per child to $3,000 per child for children over the age of six and from $2,000 to $3,600 for children under the age of six, and raised the age limit from 16 to 17. All working families will get the full credit if they make up to $150,000 for a couple or $112,500 for a family with a single parent (also called Head of Household).
