While many families claimed the child tax credit last year, there are millions more who are eligible but have not yet signed up for the program.
There’s still time for your family to get the Child Tax Credit, stimulus & other federal money!
How much money is available?
- Up to $3,600 per child with the 2021 Child Tax Credit
- Up to $1,400 per person for any missed stimulus payments for adults and children/dependents
- Other payments for families who had earnings last year
Who is eligible?
Families can get this money even if they:
- Have never done taxes before or if they have not in the past few years.
- Had little or no earned income.
- Immigrant families without a social security number can get payments for their children with a social security number.
Are you eligible?
You could be eligible even if you have low or no income or don’t usually file taxes. More people are eligible to get this money than in other years. Sign up if you have not already filed a 2021 tax return.
How can the money be used?
Families can use it to pay for food, rent, child care or to cover any other expenses they may have.
