The rollout of expanded child tax credit payments will begin this week, and families are expected to start receiving funds on Thursday.
The exact time people receive the check depends on how they received the check Internal Revenue Service (IRS) In the past. If you should receive a child tax credit payment and have registered your direct deposit bank information with the IRS, you should see the money in your account on Thursday, July 15th.
If you have not set up direct deposit on the IRS, you should receive a check in the mail sometime after Thursday.
The IRS has started sending letters to 36 million households that it believes are eligible to receive payments. Based on the information they provided in the 2019 or 2020 federal income tax return, these state families are eligible for these letters.
Other letters will be sent to people who used the “non-filer” tool on irs.gov to register for stimulus payments last year, because people who meet the conditions but don’t usually file income tax returns can also get tax credits.
