Does current 17 year old qualify for child tax credit of 3,000 under new stimulus? Starting in July

[Hal_Al]

Yes, the new law raised the age from 16 to 17. 

[SweetieJean]

The increased CTC is not retroactive to 2020.  Rather, it takes effect for tax year 2021 (returns filed in early 2022).

[Critter-3]

To qualify the child must be UNDER the age of 18 as of 1/1/2022.
