Advance Child Tax Credit The expanded and advanceable Child Tax Credit was authorized by the American Rescue Plan Act, enacted in March 2021. Normally, the IRS calculated the payment based on a person's 2020 tax return, including those who used the Non-filer Sign-up tool. If that return was not available because it had not yet been filed or was still being processed, the IRS instead determined the initial advance payment amounts using the 2019 return or the information entered using the Non-filers tool that was available in 2020. See the Advance Child Tax Credit 2021 webpage for the most up-to-date information about the credit and the advance payments, and FAQs on the 2021 Child Tax Credit and Advance Child Tax Credit Payments.
