Still not sure why news sites would tout a total phaseout for earners above $170k though.

One thing I've learned over the last 15 months of stimulus and other programs is that the media rarely gets the numbers right. For that, you need to come to DDF.

All 3 were on your processed 2020 return?
If it benefits even just one fellow DDFer, its worth posting it.

Is the oldest turning 6 before year end?

In either case there's been so many reports of missing payments, I'm not surprised...

Whenever we log in to the child tax credit portal, we get this message:

Advance Child Tax Credit Payments Is Unavailable at This Time
We're unable to retrieve your information due to a service error. Check back later.

Any idea why this is happening?
Thanks.

My 2020 tax refund still delayed (processing), and did not receive any thing today for child credit. Is this connected?

So the article is incorrect.

3. Eligibility for the federal stimulus payments was based on adjusted gross income. What is eligibility based on?


The benefit is based on 2020 gross income, which is your income before taxes and deductions.

AGI is (adjusted) Gross Income before taxes and (most) deductions.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Got today TD Bank (even though I updated my banking information to a different bank on the IRS website about 2 weeks ago).

The IRS said that updates to bank account information is for the August payments and further.
