Child Tax Credit
Did You Receive a Check Last Summer?

When Congress increased the child tax credit from $600 to $1,000 with the passage of the last tax bill, it decided to send the increase as an advance refund. The refund was sent to taxpayers who claimed eligible children as dependents in 2002.

It is important that the amount of the advance refund you received is communicated to your tax preparer. The amount is needed to accurately compute the amount of the child tax credit you are eligible for on your 2003 tax return.

If you did not receive an advance refund this summer, don’t worry. You will be allowed to claim up to the full amount for which you are eligible when you file your 2003 tax return.

If you did receive a check and have forgotten the amount, you can obtain the amount from the IRS web site at the page, Get Your Advance Child Tax Credit Status.
