IRS Statement — Advance Child Tax Credit October payments

October 29, 2021 — In October, the IRS delivered a fourth monthly round of approximately 36 million Child Tax Credit payments totaling $15 billion. As part of the continuing process of building out the advance CTC program, which has included outreach to bring in previous non-filers and the launch of the CTC Update Portal that has allowed millions of taxpayers to choose options for their payments, the IRS has also identified certain payees who appear to have mistakenly received advance CTC payments.

SOI Tax Stats - Advance Child Tax Credit payments in 2021

The numbers shown in the tables on this page reflect advance CTC payments disbursed during 2021 to eligible recipients based on taxpayer account information. In these tables, payments refer to the number of primary payment recipients that received one or more advance CTC payment during 2021. These tables include payments issued in each monthly payment wave, as well as any payments made outside of the monthly payment, such as replacements for undeliverable payments. If a tax unit filed a joint return and each spouse received part of a payment, then these tables count that as a single payment, and the dollar amounts of the partial payments to the spouses are added together.
