@Kellironnelle You are referring to the rules for EIC and the Child Tax Credit which were in effect for tax year 2021. Those rules changed back to the original rules for tax year 2022.
Go to this IRS website for EIC - https://www.irs.gov/credits-deductions/individuals/earned-income-tax-credit/earned-income-and-earned...
To claim the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), you must have what qualifies as earned income and meet certain adjusted gross income (AGI) and credit limits for the current, previous and upcoming tax years.
Go to this IRS website for Schedule 8812 Credits for Qualifying Children and Other Dependents Instructions - https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i1040s8.pdf
Child tax credit enhancements have expired. Many changes to the CTC for 2021 implemented by the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, have expired. For tax year 2022:
• The enhanced credit allowed for qualifying children under age 6 and children under age 18 has expired. For 2022, the initial amount of the CTC is $2,000 for each qualifying child. The credit amount begins to phase out where modified adjusted gross income exceeds $200,000 ($400,000 in case of a joint return). The amount of the CTC that can be claimed as a refundable credit is limited as it was in 2020 except that the maximum ACTC amount for each qualifying child increased to $1,500.
• The increased age allowance for a qualifying child has expired.
A child must be under age 17 at the end of 2022 to be a qualifying child.
