WASHINGTON (AP) — More than 9 million people and families who did not receive their advance child tax credit checks, stimulus payments and other tax rebates will soon get a letter from the IRS to claim their money.
The tax credit was originally offered through President Joe Biden's $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package.
The government says some families may be leaving up to $3,600 per child unclaimed, as well as other payments owed to them.
IRS Commissioner Chuck Rettig says many people who qualify for the tax benefits will need to file a 2021 federal income tax return to get the credit.
