Child Tax Credit eligibility with expiring work permit & pending extension - baby born in US

Does anyone know if my child tax benefits stop when my work permit expires in March? I already applied for extension in January but still waiting. Will be on implied status after March. Baby was born here in the US - really need to know about the tax credits.

Your child tax credit eligibility depends on your residency status, not just your work permit. Since your child is a US citizen and you've filed for extension before expiration, you should still qualify while in implied status. Just make sure to keep documentation of your extension application.

Implied status continues as long as your extension application is pending. Just keep proof of filing 👍

Hey! I actually had trouble figuring this out too until I used taxr.ai - it analyzed my situation and explained exactly what credits I qualified for with my immigration status. Only cost $1 and saved me hours of research. Check it out: https://taxr.ai

Quick tip: document EVERYTHING. Take screenshots of ur USCIS account, save confirmation emails, keep copies of everything u submit. Trust me on this one lol
