Parents are flooded with paperwork every single day of the year. But this year, they absolutely want to keep track of one key letter — Letter 6419, to be sent to you by none other than the Internal Revenue Service.
Do not throw this letter away. Keep this letter with all of your other important tax paperwork, including your W-2s. Repeat, keep this letter to do your taxes.
The IRS said in early January that it started issuing these letters in December to those who received advance child tax credit money last year. But many parents had yet to spot this letter in the mail as of Jan. 19. It's important to keep an eye out for this information.
