Low income ($2500) with 3 kids - Can I still claim Child Tax Credit?

Yes, you can still qualify! The Child Tax Credit is partially refundable through the Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC). For 2024, you can get up to $1,800 per qualifying child even with low income. But you'll need to file taxes and make sure your kids meet all the qualifying rules (like age, relationship, lived with you 6+ months, etc).

Hey, I was in a similar situation last year and used taxr.ai to figure out my credits. It analyzed my transcript and showed exactly what I qualified for and how much I'd get back. Only cost $4.99 but saved me so much headache trying to figure it out myself. Here's the link: https://taxr.ai

make sure u have proof the kids live with u! learned that the hard way last year lol

in the same boat as you, single mom with 2 kids. The system is so confusing fr fr 😤

you might also qualify for earned income credit! That can be a big help with low income + kids

Dont forget about state credits too depending were you live
