Advanced CTC Non-filer Sign-Up Tool

The IRS has released a tool designed to help eligible families who don’t normally file tax returns to register for the monthly advance child tax credit (CTC) payments.

The Child Tax Credit Non-filer Sign-up Tool, an update of last year’s IRS non-filers tool, is also designed to help eligible individuals who don’t normally file income tax returns register for the third round of economic impact payments (EIP) and claim the recovery rebate credit for any amount of the first two rounds of EIPs they may have missed.

Taxpayers who did not file a tax return for 2019 or 2020 and who did not use the tool last year to register for EIPs should use this updated tool. The tool enables them to provide required information about themselves, their qualifying children age 17 and under, their other dependents and their direct deposit bank information so the IRS can quickly and easily deposit the payments into their checking or savings account.
