Have you reviewed IRS Schedule 8812 in your income tax return? Use IRS Schedule 8812 to figure your child tax credit (CTC), credit for other dependents (ODC), and additional child tax credit (ACTC).
You must have earned income in 2024 to be eligible for the Child Tax Credit.
The Additional Child Tax Credit allows you to receive up to $1,700 of the $2,000 CTC per child as a refund for 2024 and 2025.
To determine whether you are eligible to claim the Additional Child Tax Credit, fill out the Child Tax Credit Worksheet in the Form 1040 instructions. If you qualify, complete Schedule 8812 to claim the Additional Child Tax Credit.
If your child is older than 16 at the end of 2024, you do not get the Child Tax Credit. But you may still qualify for the non-refundable $500 Credit for Other Dependents instead.
