********.02 Section 2 of this revenue procedure describes the child tax credit in further detail. Section 3 of this revenue procedure describes the scope of the procedures provided in this revenue procedure. Section 4 of this revenue procedure provides a simplified procedure for filing Form 1040-PR, Planilla para la Declaración de la Contribución Federal sobre el Trabajo por Cuenta Propia, or Form 1040-SS, U.S. Self-Employment Tax Return,  to claim the child tax credit. Section 5 of this revenue procedure provides a simplified procedure for filing Form 1040, U.S. Individual Income Tax Return  (also available as Formulario 1040(SP), Declaración de Impuestos de los Estados Unidos Sobre los Ingresos Personales ), or Form 1040-SR, U.S. Tax Return for Seniors  (also available as Formulario 1040-SR(SP), Declaración de Impuestos de los Estados Unidos para Personas de 65 Años de Edad o Más ),  to claim the child tax credit.   
     
 SECTION 2. BACKGROUND.01 Overview of 2021 Child Tax Credit. Section 9611 of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (American Rescue Plan), Public Law 117-2, 135 Stat. 4, 144-149 (March 11, 2021), added§§ 24(i), 24(j), and 7527A to the Code. Section 24(i) modifies the child tax credit rules set forth in§ 24 for any taxable year beginning after December 31, 2020, and before January 1, 2022 (taxable year 2021). Section 7527A provides for advance payments of the child tax credit and section 24(j) provides that the amount of the child tax credit is generally reduced by these advance payments. Section 9612(a) of the American Rescue Plan added§ 24(k) to the Code to provide special rules for American Samoa, Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands (each, a U.S. territory), effective for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2020. 135 Stat. at 150-152..02 Credit Allowed. Under§ 24(a), a taxpayer may claim a child tax credit against the taxpayer's Federal income tax (as imposed by chapter 1 of the Code) for the taxable year with respect to each CTC qualifying child (as defined in section 2.06 of this revenue procedure) of the taxpayer..03 Expanded Credit Eligibility for Bona Fide Residents of Puerto Rico. Starting in 2021, a bona fide resident of Puerto Rico with one or more CTC qualifying children may claim the child tax credit. See§§ 24(i)(1) and 24(k)(2). Prior to enactment of the American Rescue Plan,§ 24(d)(1)(B) required bona fide residents of Puerto Rico who had no earned income for Federal income tax purposes to have at least three CTC qualifying children as a condition for child tax credit eligibility..04 Credit Fully Refundable. The child tax credit for taxable year 2021 is fully refundable for a taxpayer if the taxpayer (or spouse, if filing a joint return) is a bona fide resident of Puerto Rico (within the meaning of§ 937(a)) for such taxable year. See§    24(i)(1). Full refundability means that taxpayers can benefit from the maximum amount of the credit even if they do not have taxable earned income or do not owe any Federal tax for taxable year 2021. Bona fide residents of Puerto Rico may claim the fully refundable child tax credit for taxable year 2021 even if they had no income and paid no U.S. Social Security taxes..05 Credit Amounts. Taxpayers claiming the child tax credit for taxable year 2021 may receive up to $3,000 for each CTC qualifying child who is between the ages of 6 and 17 as of the end of taxable year 2021, and $3,600 for each CTC qualifying child who is under the age of 6 as of the end of taxable year 2021. See§ 24(i)(2) and (3). The child tax credit for taxable year 2021 begins to be reduced if modified adjusted gross income (AGI) for purposes of the child tax credit exceeds $150,000 if filing a joint return or if filing as a surviving spouse (as defined in§ 2(a) of the Code); $112,500 if filing as head of household (as defined in§ 2(b)); or $75,000 if filing as single or married and filing a separate return. See§ 24(i)(4)..06 CTC Qualifying Child. A "CTC qualifying child" is a qualifying child of the taxpayer (as defined in§ 152(c)) who has not attained the age of 18 at the close of taxable year 2021. See§ 24(i)(2)(A). No child tax credit is allowed for a qualifying child unless the social security number (SSN) of the child, which must be valid for employment and be issued by the Social Security Administration before the due date of the taxpayer's taxable year Federal income tax return (including extensions), is provided on the return. See§ 24(h)(7). If the taxpayer's child was a U.S. citizen when the child received the SSN, the SSN is valid for employment..07 Advance Child Tax Credit Payments for Calendar Year 2021. Section 7527A(a) required the Secretary of the Treasury or her delegate to establish a program for making periodic advance child tax credit payments to taxpayers the total of which, during any calendar year, equals the "annual advance amount" (as defined in§    7527A(b)(1)) determined with respect to that taxpayer for that calendar year. Although residents of Puerto Rico may be eligible to claim the child tax credit, residents of Puerto Rico were not eligible to receive advance child tax credit payments. See§    7527A(e)(4)(A). However, there may have been circumstances in which a resident of Puerto Rico nonetheless received advance child tax credit payments (for example, if the IRS estimated the Puerto Rico resident's child tax credit for taxable year 2021 based on a Form 1040 or Form 1040-SR that the resident filed for taxable year 2019 or 2020)..08 Reconciliation Requirement Regarding Child Tax Credit and Advance Child Tax Credit Payments. Bona fide residents of Puerto Rico who received advance child tax credit payments (described in section 2.07 of this revenue procedure) during calendar year 2021 must reduce (but not below zero) the amount of the child tax credit claimed for taxable year 2021 by the total amount of those advance child tax credit payments. See§ 24(j)(1). If the amount of the taxpayer's advance child tax credit payments received in calendar year 2021 exceeds the taxpayer's allowable child tax credit for taxable year 2021, the taxpayer's Federal income tax imposed for taxable year 2021 will be increased by the excess subject to reduction by a "safe harbor amount." See§ 24(j)(2).   
     
 SECTION 3. SCOPE.01 Overview. This revenue procedure allows Puerto Rico CTC filers (as defined in section 4.02 of this revenue procedure) to provide information to the IRS to claim the child tax credit through the filing of a simplified Federal tax return using either of the following procedures: (1) the procedures set forth in section 4 of this revenue procedure, which allow Puerto Rico CTC filers to provide this information through a simplified Form 1040-PR or Form 1040-SS or (2) the procedures set forth in section 5 of this revenue procedure, which allow Puerto Rico CTC filers to provide this information through a simplified Form 1040 or Form 1040-SR..02 Purpose of Simplified Filing Procedure under Section 4. Section 4 of this revenue procedure provides a simplified filing procedure that permits Puerto Rico CTC filers to file a Form 1040-PR or Form 1040-SS to claim the child tax credit. Specifically, Puerto Rico CTC filers who file a simplified Form 1040-PR or Form 1040-SS for taxable year 2021 in accordance with section 4 of this revenue procedure do not need to specify their income to compute the amount of child tax credit that they are eligible to claim..03 Purpose of Simplified Filing Procedure under Section 5. Section 5 of this revenue procedure provides a simplified filing procedure that permits Puerto Rico CTC filers to file a Form 1040 or Form 1040-SR to claim the child tax credit. Specifically, Puerto Rico CTC filers who file a simplified Form 1040 or Form 1040-SR for taxable year 2021 in accordance with section 5 of this revenue procedure do not need to specify their income to compute the amount of child tax credit that they are eligible to claim..04 Individuals Who Are Not Puerto Rico Residents Are Not Eligible. The procedures provided by this revenue procedure apply only to a U.S. citizen or U.S. resident alien who is a bona fide resident of Puerto Rico and who is not described in section 3.05, 3.06, 3.07, or 3.08 of this revenue procedure. The procedures provided by this revenue procedure do not apply to a resident of any U.S. territory (as defined in section 2.01 of this revenue procedure) other than Puerto Rico, or to a U.S. citizen or U.S. resident who is not a resident of a U.S. territory. Residents of a U.S. territory should contact their local territory tax agency for additional information about the child tax credit. A U.S. citizen or U.S. resident who is not a resident of a U.S. territory should refer to Form 1040 or Form 1040-SR, Schedule 8812 (Form 1040), Credits for Qualifying Children and Other Dependents,  and their instructions, to claim the child tax credit for taxable year 2021. A U.S. citizen or U.S. resident alien who is not a bona fide resident of Puerto Rico or a resident of a U.S. territory may qualify to use the simplified filing procedures set forth in Rev. Proc. 2022-12, 2022-7 I.R.B. 494. See  section 4.02(1) and (6) of this revenue procedure..05 Individuals Required to File a Form 1040-PR, Form 1040-SS, Form 1040, or Form 1040-SR Not Eligible. The procedures provided by this revenue procedure do not apply to individuals who are required to file a Form 1040-PR, Form 1040-SS, Form 1040, or Form 1040-SR for taxable year 2021 (including bona fide residents of Puerto Rico who are required to report tax on their self-employment income). See  section 4.02(2) and (3) of this revenue procedure..06 Individuals With Modified AGI Above Applicable Income Thresholds Not Eligible. The procedures provided by this revenue procedure do not apply to individuals whose modified AGI for purposes of the child tax credit exceeds the applicable income threshold for claiming the maximum child tax credit amount as described in section 2.05 of this revenue procedure. That is, the procedures do not apply to individuals whose modified AGI exceeds (i)    $150,000, if filing a joint return or filing as a surviving spouse; (ii) $112,500, if filing as head of household; and (iii)    $75,000, if filing as single or married and filing a separate return. The amount of income of an individual with modified AGI at or below their applicable threshold will not impact the amount of the child tax credit that the individual is eligible to claim. See  section 4.02(4) of this revenue procedure..07 Individuals Who Received Excess Advance Child Tax Credit Payments Not Eligible. The procedures provided by this revenue procedure apply to individuals who need to file a Federal income tax return to claim the child tax credit in an amount greater than zero for taxable year 2021. Individuals who received advance child tax credit payments during calendar year 2021, the total amount of which equals or exceeds the individual's allowable child tax credit for taxable year 2021, cannot claim the child tax credit in an amount greater than zero for taxable year 2021. Accordingly, the procedures provided by this revenue procedure do not apply to such individuals, and they cannot file a Federal tax return under this revenue procedure. See  section 4.02(5) of this revenue procedure..08 Individuals Who Previously Filed a Form 1040-PR, Form 1040-SS, Form 1040, or Form 1040-SR Not Eligible. The procedures provided by this revenue procedure do not apply to individuals who have already filed a paper or electronic Form 1040-PR, Form 1040-SS, Form 1040, or Form 1040-SR for taxable year 2021. Such individuals do not need to file any additional forms or otherwise contact the IRS to claim the child tax credit for each CTC qualifying child if the child tax credit was claimed on the previously filed return for taxable year 2021. See  section 4.02(7) of this revenue procedure.
