For some, opting out of the payments makes more sense. If you rely on the Child Tax Credit to meet your tax obligation then you would want to opt out of the Advanced Child Tax Credit Payment as this will reduce the amount of credit available to claim on your 2021 tax return. Both business owners and individuals who file taxes in the state of New Hampshire have some changes that may affect them for upcoming tax years, particularly 2022.
