Form 8812/ Line 5 Worksheet

[SensibleandHourly]

Good Afternoon All, 

Trying to make sure I am not missing anything with the Advanced Child Tax Credit for clients of mine who make about 100k, 2 children. They each received a statement from the IRS, which I have read can be problematic for couples and it is best to advise them to check their online IRS account for accuracy. In the meantime, I decided to fill out the forms via paper as an educational exercise and I can't seem to get the credit correct on the Line 5 worksheet. Are these forms still in process of development for the software? I really, really, don't want to make an error with this credit!

What they are entitled to minus what they got = if there is any more to get, and there is a box to checkmark that they lived in the US at least 6 months of the year.

Here are IRS resources, FAQ, and guidance:

Thank you! 

I had so many tabs open looking at different things, it was ridiculous! 😉  I'll check out these links over the weekend. 

Cheers, Dawn.
