Deductions & credits

Are you claiming the kids this year?  Did your spouse claim them last year?  If so, this is a loophole that was created that causes basically a legal overpayment for some taxpayers of the child tax credit.  Depending on your spouses income, they may or may not have to repay some or all of the credit they received.
