The Child Tax Credit for tax year 2021 is $3,600 for children under the age of 6.  For children age 6 thru 17 the Child Tax Credit is $3,000.

Hi Deanna 18!

Thank you for asking this question!  The child tax credit for 2021 is up to $3600 per child for ages five and younger and $3000 per child for ages 6 to 17.   The income limits for the credit have not changed, but there are a few new tiers that qualify you for different credit levels.  I’ve included a couple of links: one with a fantastic summary table that lists the different tier levels and the other FAQs from the IRS that may be of interest to you:
