I'm trying to figure out why my son and daughter in law don't qualify for the Earned Income Child Tax credit? My grandson was born in February 2020, from the questions it seems that he would be a qualifying dependent but a message comes back that their earned income is more than the $21,710.00 - they are married filing jointly so I thought the income would be $47,646 (their income is less than this) listed in the guidance so I'm a little confused. Any insight would be appreciated, thanks!
- Your adjusted gross income (AGI) and your earned income must be less than the following:
If you're married filing jointly:
- $56,844 with more than two qualifying children, or
- $53,330 with two qualifying children, or
- $47,646 with one qualifying child, or
- $21,710 with no qualifying child
