The low-income parents received $250-$300 per month in the latter half of 2021. In addition, the government announced extended benefits for the suffering families. The eligible families have received the first half of the CTC amount last year; they will receive the remaining amount during tax refunds. Local12 reports that families who failed to claim the amount in 2021 will receive the total amount this tax season.

Parents can claim the whole amount at once

The parents with no earlier payments can claim the total sum; they will receive $3,600 for each child under six and $3,000 for each between 6-17. The beneficiaries need to provide complete information in their tax returns. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) will issue the eligible amount and the tax refunds. Several families have received more or less than the half amount; they will receive the adjusted CTC amount after the tax return processing. IRS will reclaim the overpaid amount from the families.

Taxpayers need to provide complete information.

IRS issued Letter 6419 to the taxpayers, which included the amount details. IRS advised beneficiaries to refer to that letter for tax return filing; taxpayers need to submit the letter with the tax return documents for timely payments. IRS will analyze the tax return figures and check for possible data errors. The new tax filers must tax expert assistance to avoid unexpected delays. IRS has started issuing tax refunds; it expects taxpayers to file their tax returns before the deadline. IRS faces a considerable backlog this year; it has millions of unprocessed tax returns due to limited staff.

The pandemic ripped the department of its staff members. IRS advises taxpayers to file electronic returns to speed up the tax processing; it has also hired new employees to aid the tax processing. In addition, IRS officials face extended workload this tax season due to various federal payments and other stimulus checks; they need to manage more data than in previous years.
