Worth Knowing
The Child Tax Credit is worth up to $2,000 per qualifying child under 17 for 2024, and because it's a credit it cuts your tax bill dollar-for-dollar — far more valuable than a deduction of the same size. It phases out for higher incomes, beginning at $200,000 for single filers and $400,000 for joint filers. Part of it is refundable, meaning families with little or no tax liability can still receive some of it back.
