In an update to a recent blog post, the IRS has now sent out most of the Advance Child Credit Letters to taxpayers that received advanced child tax credit payments. It is important to note that taxpayers that file as married filing jointly will each receive an Advance Child Tax Credit Letter. Each letter will report a portion of the total amount. In many instances each letter will report half of the total amount, but there are situations where the amounts will be different, so it is important to provide the total amount that was received to your accountant.
