Your credit may have been limited for one of the following reasons.

 

The maximum credit amount of your Child Tax Credit may be reduced if either (1) or (2) applies.

  1. The amount on line 18 of your Form 1040, 1040-SR, or Form 1040-NR, is less than the total of the credits. If this amount is zero, you cannot take the credit because there is no tax to reduce. 

  2. Your modified adjusted gross income (AGI) is more than the amount shown below for your filing status.

    1. Married filing jointly—$400,000.

    2. All other filing statuses—$200,000.
