what will be included into itemized deductions
A child tax CREDIT will never show up on the Sch A for itemized DEDUCTIONS.
What can be confusing is that the TT program has a category for Deductions & Credits but not everything in that section is a deduction on the Sch A.
It's not on SCH A because the child tax credit is a "credit", not a deduction.
Deduction - reduces the amount of income you pay taxes on.
Credit - Reduces the taxes you pay, dollar for dollar.
