The American Rescue Plan increased the amount of the 2021 Child Tax Credit up to $300/month per child under age 6 and up to $250/month for each child age 6 to 17 to support families with children.
How to get your money: You don’t need to do anything if you have filed taxes in the past 2 years or if you used the IRS “Non-Filer Portal” to get a stimulus check last year.
If you didn’t file taxes in the past two years, fill out a simple form to begin receiving monthly Child Tax Credit payments by going to childtaxcredit.gov
