Deductions & credits

Welcome to our Event, Mr_Cruz!

To claim the Child Tax Credit your child must be under the age of 17 (16 years or younger)

For dependents:

The tax rules typically allow you to claim a credit for a dependent child if they reside with you for more than half the year, don’t provide more than half of their own financial support, and are under the age of 19 at all times during the tax year, or under 24 if a full-time student
