The IRS has begun issuing child tax credit payments for June 2025, continuing its monthly rollout for eligible families across the U.S. Whether you’re already receiving checks or applying for the first time this year, here’s what you need to know about eligibility, amounts, and how to check your status.
How much is the June 2025 child tax credit payment?
Under current policy, families can receive:
- $300 per month for each child under age 6
- $250 per month for each child aged 6 to 17
These amounts are advanced monthly payments toward the full 2025 Child Tax Credit, which maxes out at $3,600 per qualifying child.
Payments for June began hitting bank accounts starting Friday, June 7, and are expected to continue through Tuesday, June 11, depending on bank processing times.
Who qualifies for the June 2025 payment?
To be eligible, you must:
- Have filed a 2023 or 2024 tax return
- Meet the income thresholds:
- Up to $150,000 for married couples filing jointly
- Up to $112,500 for heads of household
- Up to $75,000 for single filers
- Claim at least one dependent child under age 18 who lives with you more than half the year
Those who used the IRS non-filer portal in past years may also qualify but must ensure their banking and dependent information is up to date.
How to check your payment status
Use the IRS Child Tax Credit Update Portal to:
- View your expected payment
- Confirm direct deposit information
- Update household or dependent details
- Unenroll from monthly payments if desired
What if you didn’t receive a payment?
If your June payment hasn’t arrived:
- First, verify your eligibility using the IRS portal
- Check whether your 2024 tax return has been processed
- Confirm that your banking details are accurate
If no payment appears by June 14, the IRS recommends calling 800-908-4184 for assistance.
What’s next?
The next scheduled Child Tax Credit payment will go out around July 12, 2025, barring any changes in legislation. Congress is still debating long-term extensions of the expanded credit, which could impact future payment amounts.
