To opt-out of the monthly payments, or unenroll, you can go to the IRS Child Tax Credit Update Portal.

The IRS sends your payments by direct deposit to the bank account they have on file. If they don’t have bank account information for you, a check will be mailed to you. If you receive your payment electronically, it will show up in your bank account labeled CHILDCTC. If you’ve filed tax returns for 2019 or 2020, or if you signed up to receive a stimulus check from the Internal Revenue Service, you will get this tax relief automatically.
