How to check the status of $300 Child Tax Credit?
The IRS website allows recipients to track their payment status online. Download the IRS2Go Mobile Application if you have trouble using the portal. The only thing you need to do is review the payment status including the Social Security Number (or ITIN), the filing status and the exact amount. IRS payments are usually issued within 21 days of the filing date.
You may experience a funding delay if you filed your return on paper. It is possible that the letter you received is still in its wrapping.
