I made $42,000 in 2017 and my filing status is single. I have one child. Will I qualify for the child tax credit?

In 2017, the phase out threshold is $55,000 for married couples filing separately; $75,000 for single, head of household, and qualifying widow or widower filers; and $110,000 for married couples filing jointly. For each $1,000 of income above the threshold, your available child tax credit is reduced by $50.

But why aren't you filing Head of Household?
