Deductions & credits

Line 5 will be $3,600 per child under 6 and $3,000 per child age 6-17 if your AGI is under:

  • $150,000 if you're Married Filing Jointly or a Qualifying Widow
  • $112,500 if you're filing as Head of Household, or
  • $75,000 if you're Married Filing Separately or Single

If your AGI is above those amounts, then line 5 will be gradually reduced, down to a minimum of $2,000 per child. 

 

@AnotherUsername2Remember and @lulutaxes3713 are your AGIs (which, in most cases, is Form 1040 Line 11) above these thresholds?
