That's different than what the OP is asking.

If your scenario were the case, you'd have to provide some documentation to support your claim. The IRS also provides some resources to help with this:

Did you have an advance payment of the Child Tax Credit issued to you, but did not receive it?

I’m a CPAA which is like a Dr compared to a CPA being a nurse.

Hold the checks until a year where you need the credit and claim them that year. Fyi there’s a 15 year statute of limitations on doing this.
