Child Tax Credit

I don't interpret this the same way DoninGA has:

4) Dependent test - You must claim the child as a dependent on your tax return. Bear in mind that in order for you to claim a child as a dependent, he or she must:

  • be your child (or adoptive or foster child), sibling, niece, nephew or grandchild;
  • be under age 19, or under age 24 and a full-time student for at least five months of the year; or be permanently disabled, regardless of age;
  • have lived with you for more than half the year; and
  • have provided no more than half his or her own support for the year.
