To claim the Child Tax Credit
- Your
dependent must be under 17 years of age on the
last day of the year
- The Child
Tax Credit cannot be used to reduce your tax liability below zero (cannot exceed taxes owed)
- Also, the
Child Tax Credit is reduced by $50 for every $1,000 that your Adjusted
Gross Income exceeds $110,000
Go back to the personal info
tab and edit the dependents and check all your entries for them, especially
dependent type. Check the child’s Social Security number, date of birth, and designate that the child lived with you for over six
months (if true).
