The IRS is using a phased approach in developing the CTCUP to provide these self-help methods to taxpayers. Each phase will expand the taxpayers’ ability to revise relevant information.
Enroll to receive payments or unenroll to stop receiving payments
Update the number of qualifying children (including birth of a child)
Change the marital status
Report a change in income
Update direct deposit information (online portal only)
Update mailing address
In addition to the online portal, taxpayers who do not have a filing requirement under normal circumstances may use a non-filer tool to submit a tax year 2020 return to report qualifying dependents for purposes of receiving AdvCTC payments.
The amount of AdvCTC payments will be made using the most current information available, including tax year 2020 returns filed and updated information provided by the taxpayer. In the event the taxpayer has received an AdvCTC payment, the new payment amount will be computed with consideration of the total amount of advanced payment(s) the taxpayer has received.
Taxpayers will receive the AdvCTC payments via direct deposit when valid direct deposit information is available. Payments will be issued as a paper check when there is no valid direct deposit information.
