We shared recently to be on the lookout in your mailbox for Letter 6419 from the IRS. This letter reports the amount of advanced child tax credit (ACTC) you received in 2021.
It is imperative that your 2021 tax return report valid information for the ACTC to avoid IRS processing delays. The IRS has indicated that some of the letters issued may include incorrect information. We urge you to check your bank records and verify that the amount reported on your letter agrees with the total you received.
If your letter does not include accurate information, we encourage you to access the IRS Child Tax Credit Update Portal where you will be guided through logging in to your account or creating an online account.
