When Will the IRS Issue Advance Child Tax Credit Payments?

Wondering when you’ll receive advance Child Tax Credit (ACTC) payments from the IRS?

If you’re eligible to receive ACTC payments, you can generally expect your monthly installments to be deposited or mailed on the 15th of each month through December 2021. If you prefer not to receive ACTC payments because you’d rather claim the full credit when you file your 2021 tax return, or you know you won’t be eligible for the credit for 2021, you can unenroll through through the Child Tax Credit Update Portal.
