Initially, the IRS will identify eligible taxpayers and calculate the Advanced Child Tax Credit (AdvCTC) using tax year 2020 return information (2019 if 2020 is not available). Each condition listed below must be met to potentially receive AdvCTC:

The tax return must be an eligible return type to claim CTC (Forms 1040, 1040SR, 1040NR).

The tax return must include an address that is U.S. domestic (non-territory), unless the account was subsequently updated to include a U.S. domestic address. APO, FPO, and DPO (military addresses) will be treated as U.S. domestic addresses.

The tax year 2020 return (2019 if 2020 is not available) must contain CTC qualifying children.
