Taxpayers with dependents who don’t qualify for the child tax credit may be able to claim the credit for other dependents.
\nThe maximum credit amount is $500 for each dependent who meets certain conditions. These include:
\n\u2022\tDependents who are age 17 or older.
\n\u2022\tDependents who have individual taxpayer identification numbers.
\n\u2022\tDependent parents or other qualifying relatives supported by the taxpayer.
\n\u2022\tDependents living with the taxpayer who aren’t related to the taxpayer.
\nThe credit begins to phase out when the taxpayer’s income is more than $200,000. This phaseout begins for married couples filing a joint tax return at $400,000.
\nA taxpayer can claim this credit if:
\n\u2022\tThey claim the person as a dependent on the taxpayer’s return.
\n\u2022\tThey cannot use the dependent to claim the child tax credit or additional child tax credit.
\n\u2022\tThe dependent is a U.S. citizen, national or resident alien.
\nTaxpayers can claim the credit for other dependents in addition to the child and dependent care credit and the earned income credit. They can use the IRS Interactive Tax Assistant, Does My Child\/Dependent Qualify for the Child Tax Credit or the Credit for Other Dependents?, to help determine if they are eligible to claim the credit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
