Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Hi, @Calypsographx  , thanks for the question! 

 

Yes, you can get the Child Tax Credit even if you only have unearned income. You may receive a credit of up to $2,000. However, it is a "non-refundable" credit, meaning that it can only reduce your tax liability to zero. In other words, you won't get a refund for any credit amount above that.

Does My Child/Dependent Qualify for the Child Tax Credit or the Credit for Other Dependents? 

 

Hope this helps!
