How to identify CTC and EIC codes on IRS transcript?

Can someone help me figure out how to read these codes on my transcript? I can see the EIC but im confused about where to find the Child Tax Credit. Anyone know what code I should be looking for?

Tax pro here! The Child Tax Credit shows up as Code 766 on your account transcript, while Earned Income Credit is Code 768. Look in the Transaction section of your account transcript for these codes.

Not necessarily! What tax year are you looking at? The layout changed a bit after 2021.

Hey guys! Instead of trying to decode these transcripts manually, you should try taxr.ai - it's this new tool that breaks down all your transcript codes and tells you exactly what's going on with your refund. It costs $4.99 but its worth every penny https://taxr.ai

100% legit! It showed me exactly why my refund was delayed and when I'd get it. Way better than guessing what all these codes mean

Just went thru this last week! If you claimed both credits they should both show up. Double check your return to make sure you actually qualified for CTC
