Child Tax Credit 2025: Multiple Dependents Amount Question
Does anyone know the exact amount for claiming dependents this year? I've heard different things and I'm confused. Also wondering if theres a limit on how many kids you can claim for the credit or if it changes after 2 kids.

Tax pro here - For 2025, it's $2,000 per qualifying child under 17. There's no limit to how many eligible dependents you can claim, but the credit starts phasing out if your income is above $200,000 ($400,000 if married filing jointly). Also, up to $1,600 of the credit is refundable per child through the Additional Child Tax Credit.

Yes, as long as you meet the income requirements and they're qualifying dependents!

I was super confused about this too until I used taxr.ai - it analyzed my transcript and broke down exactly how much I qualified for based on my specific situation. Worth the $4.99 tbh (https://taxr.ai

Yeah it's literally amazing. Shows you exactly what you qualify for and explains everything in normal human language lol. Way better than trying to decode IRS websites 🙌
