Governor Roy Cooper encourages families across North Carolina to apply for child tax credit payments. As a result of the American Rescue Plan, more families with children now qualify to receive money from the child tax credit.
Most families automatically receive monthly payments of $250 or $300 per child without having to take any action. You will get this tax relief automatically you’ve filed tax returns for 2019 or 2020, or if you signed up to receive a stimulus check from the Internal Revenue Service,
