I am disabled and on social security after camcer left me disabled. I have 3 young children 3,5 and 8 yrs old. I have no earned income. They say new rule is no minimum income to qualify for $3000-3600 per child. Is this correct? Do I qualify for the $1400 stimulus just passed with no earned income?. Sure many are wondering the same but there are 1 in tens of thousands or more like me. Would appreciate any links or info. Thank you
The law has not been passed yet but it just increases the current $2,000 child tax credit to $3,000 and $3,600 for a child under age 6, but the qualifications are the same as the 2020 $2,000 credit.
The amount of child tax credit you can receive is limited by your taxable income (1040 line 15). If your taxable income is zero, then you are not eligible for any child tax credit.
