The Child Tax Credit is based on the amount of tax that you owe. If the credit exceeds your tax liability, you may be getting the Additional Child tax credit.
The maximum tax credit per qualifying child is $2,000. This will offset any taxes you may owe.
If you don’t owe any taxes, you still may qualify for the additional child tax credit. This can be up to $1,700 per qualifying child.
