The IRS has
begun issuing informational letters to Advance Child Tax Credit recipients that
can be used to help “reduce errors and delays in processing” when it comes time
to file a tax return.
Recipients of the third
round of stimulus payments are expected to receive a letter at the end of
January.
“People receiving these
letters should keep them. Do not throw them away. These letters can help
taxpayers, or their tax professional prepare their 2021 federal tax return,”
according to the IRS website.
Letter 6419 includes
the total amount of advance child tax credit payments taxpayers received in
2021 and the number of qualifying children used to calculate the advance
payments. People should keep this and any other IRS letters about advance child
tax credit payments with their tax records.
