Here are the things to double check when claiming the Child Tax Credit. To qualify for the Child Tax Credit, the child must:
- Be related to you - check the relationship status you chose in TurboTax
- Have a Social Security number - make sure the number is entered and the box about only being valid for employment is not checked
- Be younger than 17 - this means 16 years old or younger as of 12/31/22
- Be a US resident - make sure the box is checked
There are also income limits, see this link to make sure your income is not too high. In 2022, the tax credit will be refundable only up to $1,500, depending on your income. You must have earned income of at least $2,500 to be eligible for the refundable part of the credit. So, make sure your income is entered into TurboTax. If you have not done your W-2s yet, you won't qualify.
