Understanding The Ctc Payment Schedule: A Guide For 2023
Introduction
As we head into 2023, it’s important to understand the CTC payment schedule and what it means for families. The Child Tax Credit (CTC) was expanded in 2021, providing eligible families with up to $3,600 per child. However, these payments are not a one-time payout. Instead, they are spread out over the course of the year according to a specific payment schedule.
