The CTC is worth up to $2,000 per qualifying child, but you must fall within certain income limits. For 2020 and 2021, you can claim the full CTC if your income is $200,000 or less ($400,000 for married couples filing jointly). You may still qualify for a partial credit if your income is above that limit.
