Deductions & credits

Where do you see the $2450?   When looking at your Form 1040, look at lines 19 and 28 for your Child Tax Credit total amount.  They have to be under 17 as of 12/31/24 - Otherwise, they only qualify you for a $500 credit.

 

Also, the credit phases out once your income reaches 

 

  • $400,000 if you're Married Filing Jointly
  • $200,000 for all other filing statuses

If your AGI is higher than that, the amount of Child Tax Credit you're eligible for is reduced by $50 for each $1,000 your modified AGI is above the income threshold.
