How the CTC Works Today. Taxpayers can claim a child tax credit (CTC) of up to $2,000 for each child under age 17 who is a US citizen or a qualifying noncitizen. The credit is reduced by 5 percent of adjusted gross income over $200,000 for single parents ($400,000 for married couples).
The Child Tax Credit is up to $2,000. The Credit for Other Dependents is worth up to $500. The IRS defines a dependent as a qualifying child (under age 19 or under 24 if a full-time student, or any age if permanently and totally disabled) or a qualifying relative.
The best approach for this would be to edit your Form W4 and increase the tax withholding so that more amount is being withheld from each paycheck throughout the year, so that when you file taxes next year, you will not owe that much.
For tax year 2021, families claiming the child tax credit will receive up to $3,000 per qualifying child between the ages of 6 and 17 at the end of 2021. They will receive $3,600 per qualifying child under age 6 at the end of 2021.
For example, for 2022, a taxpayer who earns $40,000 per year and has one dependent can claim $2,400 for that dependent. Beginning for 2023, the taxpayer may claim $4,900 ($2,500 + $2,400, before adjusting the latter amount for inflation).
Here's more information to help taxpayers determine whether they're eligible to claim the Credit for Other Dependents on their 2022 tax return. The maximum credit amount is $500 for each dependent who meets certain conditions.
