      When I fill out everything. It says I don’t qualify. My kids are citizens, we did get the stimulus for them, we do not have income (ssdi), we did not get any help advance ctc for them. Not sure why it says we don’t qualify… 😔

          @ Travis T Did you file a 2019 or 2020 tax return and claimed the Child Tax Credit in one of those returns? Also you did not need to have Earned Income to qualify

            I think “Earned Income” is what is needed to qualify. Any side jobs you could claim?

              That is not accurate, sorry. You do NOT need an income to have received the Advanced Child Tax Credit from July ’21 – December ’21. This credit was designed to advance the taxpayer half (per child) of what you would normally claim and receive at tax time, 2022. However, the rollout of this action was riddled with glitches. Nothing is lost, you will claim the full child tax credit when you file taxes.

                I think it’s because you have no income. I would recommend a tax person because if you have no income, some people will use self employment like cleaning as income to get the credit. But unfortunately if you don’t have income you don’t qualify.
