Does military retirement count for child tax credit?

[CherylW]

Yes.  The child tax credit depends on your modified adjusted gross income, or MAGI.

Your MAGI would include your military retirement.

However, you must have at least $2,500 of earned income (from working) to claim the Child Tax Credit.
