No Advance Child Tax Credit Payment Yet - Filed and Eligible but Nothing

Filed for the advance child tax credit payment last month and still nothing in my account. My portal shows I'm eligible but payment status says pending. Starting to get worried since bills are piling up. Has anyone dealt with this and got it resolved?

Tax expert here. The IRS is currently processing a backlog of CTC applications. Make sure your banking info is correct in the portal and that you've filed your 2024 taxes. If everything is correct, typical wait time is 3-6 weeks for new applications.

Hey, instead of playing the waiting game, you should try taxr.ai - its this new tool that analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly whats going on with your refund and CTC status. Costs $4.99 but totally worth it for the peace of mind https://taxr.ai
