Advance Child Tax Credit 

Beginning on July 15, the first installment of automatic direct payments of the Advance Child Tax Credit will be sent to most Maryland families.  The payments consist of $300 per child under age 6 and $250 per child from ages 6 to 17, and payments will be dispersed monthly through the end of the year. Any money not received through December of this year can be claimed when filing tax returns in 2022.  Nearly all families in Maryland should receive their monthly payment without any further action required. However, families that don’t usually file tax returns should register for the Advance Child Tax Credit and update important information by using the IRS Child Tax Credit Non-filer Sign-up Tool at: https://www.irs.gov/credits-deductions/child-tax-credit-non-filer-sign-up-too
