Additional Child Tax Credit

Menu Path: Personal > Dependents

We'll automatically calculate the Child Tax Credit and Additional Child Tax Credit. Just enter your dependents and we'll use other information on your tax return, such as your income and the age of your dependents to figure the credits for you.

The Child Tax Credit is $2,200 for each qualifying child.

If your potential Child Tax Credit is more than your tax, you may be able to take the Additional Child Tax Credit. Many people who take the Additional Child Tax Credit have dependents under age 17, and are not receiving the full $2,200 Child Tax Credit for each dependent.

The maximum Additional Child Tax Credit is $1,700. The Additional Child Tax Credit is calculated on Schedule 8812.
