Yes, it’s not too late. Even if you missed filing your 2021 taxes by April of this year, you still have time to get the Child Tax Credit if you are eligible. There are 2 options:
(1) File a simple return to claim the Child Tax Credit and stimulus money, if you haven’t gotten it. This option is a good choice for people with lower incomes who want a quick and easy way to claim the Child Tax Credit and stimulus payments. This option is only available if you aren’t required to file a 2021 tax return (usually, earning less than $12,500 single or $25,000 married).
(2) File a tax return, even though the tax deadline for filing 2021 taxes has passed. If you’re expecting to get a refund, the good news is that there is no penalty for failure to file if you are due a refund. However, you cannot obtain a refund without filing a tax return. If you wait too long to file, you may risk losing the refund altogether.
