Hello. Please help me with a question, because accountants cannot explain it to me.
The first time my family and I entered the United States on October 1, 2019, we have a Green Card. When we filed taxes for 2019, the accountant said that we would not receive a child tax credit. I can't figure out why. We only submitted Form 1040. Do I need to live in the USA for more than 6 months for this credit? The IRS website only says that the child must live with you for more than 6 months a year and says nothing about living in the USA. Thank you so much.
