Starting today, July 15, 2024, American families will begin receiving monthly IRS Child Tax Credit (CTC) payments from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). This significant financial support measure aims to assist millions of households across the nation by providing up to $300 per month for each child under six years old and $250 per month for children aged six to seventeen.
Eligibility and Payment Details for the IRS Child Tax Credit
To qualify for the CTC payments, families must meet specific eligibility criteria, including income thresholds and residency status. The CTC is designed to benefit working families, with payments directly deposited into bank accounts on the 15th of each month.
The maximum payment for the Child Tax Credit in 2024 is $2,000 per child under 17, with potential increases if new legislation is approved. If approved, families could receive up to $3,000 for two children.
