Next week is the last child tax credit payment, how much are you getting?

Millions of families are expecting a final payment next week for the advance of their child tax credit.

Families can expect as much as $3,600 per child in all, and have been getting payments on the credit since July of this year worth up to $300.

For those that took advantage of the payments, over 3 million children were lifted out of poverty.

In order to be eligible, parents filing married need to make under $150,000 and head of household filers need to make under $112,500 for the full payments.

Finally, some families are seeing smaller payments because they were accidentally given more earlier in the process.

2% of recipients saw a glitch that gave them $31.25 more per child for kids over 5 and $37.51 for kids ages 6 to 17.

This made payments a little smaller for Oct., Nov., and Dec.

The reductions were between $10 and $13 per child.

Everyone getting the payments now may claim the other half on their taxes next year.
