Without looking at your return these are the most common reasons for not receiving the Child Tax Credit:
- The child turned 17 during the tax year.
- Your income was too high or too low. There is a phase out of the credit if your income is too high. Or, you don't have a tax liability, however, you may be eligible for the additional child tax credit if you meet the minimum income requirements.
- You didn't indicate that the child lived with you for more than half the year. A child born during the tax year is considered to live with you the whole year.
