The Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration is initiating a review to evaluate the Internal Revenue Service’s actions to implement the legislative changes made by the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA)  of 2021 to expand the Child Tax Credit and issue advanced periodic payments.  The ARPA, which became law on March 11, 2021, increases the amount of the Child Tax Credit from $2,000 to $3,000 per child under 18 years old ($3,600 for children less than 6 years old).  The credit is fully refundable and a portion of it can be paid in advance to taxpayers.  In addition, the Act requires the IRS to develop an online portal so that taxpayers can either un-enroll from receiving advanced periodic payments or update information such as marital status, number of qualifying children, etc. that would affect their eligibility for the Child Tax Credit and/or revise their advanced payment amounts.
