The Treasury Department will begin mailing checks for
the advance payment of the increased Child Tax Credit on
July 25, with most checks mailed by August 8. These
will cover eligible taxpayers who filed their 2002 tax
returns by April 15. As the IRS processes returns from
taxpayers who filed after that date, it will
schedule advance payments on a weekly basis.
No checks will be sent after December.
For the first three weeks, the checks will be sent
according to the last two digits of the taxpayer's
social security number:
-
00-33 -- mailed July 25
-
34-66 -- mailed August 1
-
67-99 -- mailed August 8
Eligible taxpayers whose returns were not processed
in time for these initial mailing dates will have
their checks sent out after the IRS processes their
returns. |
