$1,400 Stimulus Payments Could Be Distributed

Distribution of Fourth Child Tax Credit
According to the Internal Revenue Service, most families will receive their fourth advanced child tax credit payment in their bank accounts this week. The October payments, totaling $15 billion, will be distributed to about 36 million taxpayers. Payments done through checks should come by the end of the month, Forbes News reported.
One of the main platforms of the $3.5 trillion social policy proposal that Democrats are attempting to push by the end of the month is the future of the child tax credit—making the enhanced advance payments permanent. However, objectives such as paid leave and free pre-school are fighting for the same resources, and funding is uncertain.
Getting these funds, which were allowed by the American Rescue Act in March, into the hands of families with children under the age of 18 is a major undertaking, and it will not be easy. The monthly payments, which began in July and will end in December, are automatic for the vast majority of taxpayers who have filed a 2019 or 2020 tax return.
However, payment amounts may vary depending on the most recently submitted tax returns. The final check will be performed when you file your 2021 tax return next year.
