If I worked for a month in 2024, and made $900 will I qualify for the child tax credit when I file if I have one dependent child?

If I worked for a month in 2024, and made $900 will I qualify for the child tax credit when I file if I have one dependent child?

No, you will not.  Sorry.   If your only income from working all year was $900, you will not get the refundable additional child tax credit.   And....if that was your only income, how were you and your child really supported?  Is there someone else who can claim both of you as dependents?

  The maximum amount of the child tax credit is now $2000 per child; the refundable “additional child tax credit” amount is $1700.   In order to get that credit, you have to have income from working.  The credit is calculated based on the amount you earned above $2500 multiplied by 15%, up to the full $1700 per child. If the amount you earned was too low, you will not get the full $1700.

 

 If your child is older than 16 at the end of 2024, you do not get the CTC.  But you may still get the non-refundable $500 credit for other dependents instead.
