Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The child tax credit is $2,000 per qualifying child under age 17. Since they have two qualifying children (ages 13 and 15) and their modified AGI falls below the phaseout threshold of $400,000 for joint filers, they are entitled to a total child tax credit of $4,000. The 19-year-old child is not a qualifying child for the purposes of the child tax credit.
