The IRS made Advanced Child Tax Credit (ACTC) payments from July to December 2021 to some families with children.
Only half of the tax credit was paid in 2021.
If you got ACTC payments in 2021, filing a 2021 tax return can get your other half of the tax credit.
You will get your refund fastest if you file your return electronically.
