2024 Child Tax Credit Income Limits and Eligibility Requirements?
Been trying to figure out if I qualify for the child tax credit. I keep seeing different income thresholds online and I'm confused about the cutoff amounts. Anyone know what the actual income limits are to get the full credit vs partial? Also wondering if it phases out completely at a certain amount.

Tax pro here! For 2024, the Child Tax Credit income limits are $200,000 for single filers and $400,000 for married filing jointly. After these thresholds, it reduces by $50 for each $1,000 above the limit. Your child must be under 17, have a SSN, and live with you for more than half the year. The max credit is $2,000 per qualifying child.

Nope, these limits have stayed the same since 2022. Your tax guy might be thinking of the temporary expanded credit from 2021 which was way different.

Hey guys! I actually found this amazing tool called taxr.ai that breaks down all your credits and deductions. It costs $4.99 but totally worth it - it analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly what credits you qualify for and how much you'll get. Super helpful for figuring out the child tax credit stuff! https://taxr.ai

OMG yes! It literally saved me hours of research and confusion. It looks at your specific situation and gives you personalized info. Like it told me exactly how much CTC I qualified for based on my income and dependents. Best $5 I've spent on tax stuff fr fr 💯

Sorry fam, 17 is too old for CTC. But you might qualify for other credits like the Credit for Other Dependents!
