Q: What are the main provisions?

Key points include: To receive the refundable part of the child tax credit, taxpayers must include their Social Security Number (SSN) on their tax return. For joint returns, providing one spouse's SSN is sufficient. Missing a correct SSN will be treated as a mathematical error, potentially delaying or preventing the credit.

New rules mandate that taxpayers must provide their Social Security Number (SSN) to claim the refundable portion of the child tax credit. This aims to verify eligibility for the credit. These changes will apply to tax years beginning after December 31, 2021.
