I have a client who divorced in 2021 and the ex-wife got all the advanced child tax credit but the husband received an IRS letter for half of the advanced child tax credit because they filed jointly in 2020. The wife will be claiming the child for 2021 so that leaves him having to claim half and possibly pay back because he may not meet the payback protection. Hope updates help to clarify how to handle this situation.
