Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

For the 2018 tax year, the Child Tax Credit is $2,000 per qualifying child, with up to $1,400 of that amount being refundable per child. Since Susan and Kyle have two children, they can potentially claim a total of $4,000 for the Child Tax Credit ($2,000 per child x 2 children). The income threshold for the full credit begins to phase out for couples filing jointly at $400,000, so with an adjusted gross income of $108,000, they are well below the phase-out threshold and can claim the full credit amount for both children. There is no mention of a "family tax credit" in the context provided, which suggests the question might be focusing solely on the Child Tax Credit.
