This credit can be claimed for dependents who:

- Have Social Security numbers or individual taxpayer identification numbers.
- Are parents or other qualifying relatives supported by the taxpayer.
- Live with the taxpayer but aren't related to the taxpayer.
- Are U.S. citizens, nationals or resident aliens.
The credit begins to phase out when the taxpayer's income is above $200,000. This phaseout begins at $400,000 for married couples filing a joint tax return.
