If the IRS has processed your 2020 tax return or 2019 tax return\, these monthly payments will be made starting in July and continue through December 2021\, based on the information contained in that return.\nTo qualify for advance Child Tax Credit payments\, you — and your spouse\, if you filed a joint return — must have:\n\nFiled a 2019 or 2020 tax return and claimed the Child Tax Credit on the return; or\nGiven us your information in 2020 to receive the Economic Impact Payment using the Non-Filers: Enter Payment Info Here tool; and\nA main home in the United States for more than half the year (the 50 states and the District of Columbia) or file a joint return with a spouse who has a main home in the United States for more than half the year; and\nA qualifying child who is under age 18 at the end of 2021 and who has a valid Social Security number; and\nMade less than certain income limits.\n\nWho should come?\n\nThose families who need to file a 2019 and/or 2020 tax return with an income limit of $57\,000 or less.\n\nWhat will happen while you are here?\nThe customer will sign in and take an intake packet consisting of 4 documents\, front\, back\, and inside\, to fill out to completion.\nUpon completion\, please return all forms to the envelope and enclose:\n\nPicture ID\nSocial Security cards for taxpayer(s) and all dependents to be listed on return\nWage and Income documents (W-2s and1099s)\nHealth insurance 1095 form\n\nScreening – An IRS certified volunteer will call you to review your documents and intake form with you.\nTax Preparation – Once you verify your information\, the IRS certified volunteer will prepare your tax return by keying in your information while you wait inside your car or the lobby.\nQuality Review – After the return is keyed\, an IRS certified volunteer will review the return with you to discuss/answer any questions or concerns.\n\nWith your approval of the return\, the volunteer will ask you to sign the consent form 8879 to e-file on your behalf and give you a copy of your return.\n\nWhat is the benefit to the participant?\nFor many families living in poverty\, this will provide an extra source of income that could help cover necessities such as transportation and childcare\, and in a post-pandemic economy.\nHow long will it take?\nIt could take 30 minutes to an hour and a half depending on the tax return. \nWhat should you bring?\nClients will need to bring the following items to a Free Tax Prep site:\n\nPhoto I.D.\, if filing joint the spouse’s Photo I.D. is also required\nSocial Security cards and birth dates\, if filing joint or claiming dependents\, the spouse and dependents Social Security cards must be provided as well\nAll W-2’s\, 1099’s\, and information on other income\nInformation for all deductions/credits\nTotal paid to daycare and their tax I.D. number\nHealth Insurance 1095 form\nAccount information for direct deposit\nIf married filing joint\, both spouses must be present\n\nWhat if I can’t come on July 23\, is there another way for me to participate and get the Child Tax Credit?\nIf you are eligible to receive advance Child Tax Credit payments based on your 2020 tax return or 2019 tax return (including information you entered into the Non-Filer tool for Economic Impact Payments on IRS.gov in 2020)\, you generally will receive those payments automatically without needing to take any additional action.\nYou must take action if you have not filed your 2020 tax return or 2019 tax return.
