The numbers shown in the tables on this page reflect advance CTC payments disbursed during 2021 to eligible recipients based on taxpayer account information. In these tables, payments refer to the number of primary payment recipients that received one or more advance CTC payment during 2021. These tables include payments issued in each monthly payment wave, as well as any payments made outside of the monthly payment, such as replacements for undeliverable payments. If a tax unit filed a joint return and each spouse received part of a payment, then these tables count that as a single payment, and the dollar amounts of the partial payments to the spouses are added together.
