Common Questions
- How much is the child tax credit in 2026?
- For the 2026 tax year, the child tax credit is $2,200 per qualifying child under age 17. Up to $1,700 of that is refundable as the Additional Child Tax Credit, meaning you can receive it even if you owe less in taxes. Income phase-outs begin at $200,000 for single filers and $400,000 for joint filers.
- Who qualifies for the child tax credit?
- To qualify, the child must be under 17 at end of the tax year, a U.S. citizen or resident, your dependent with a valid Social Security number, and have lived with you for more than half the year. Your income must be below the phase-out thresholds to receive the full credit.
- Is the child tax credit refundable?
- Partially. The Additional Child Tax Credit allows up to $1,700 of the $2,200 credit to be refundable, meaning you can get it as a refund even if you owe no tax. The remaining $500 is non-refundable and can only reduce tax owed to zero, not below.
