Child tax credit
I was pregnant 2024 and gave birth on July 12 CPS took my son about 3 days later then he went into foster care can I still claim him to get the child tax credit even without income that year
Although you can claim your child as a dependent as long as the child meets the criteria below, you would not qualify for any tax credit with zero income. Temporary absences count as time living with you.
The refundable portion of the credit is calculated by taking 15% of your earned income above $2,500.
Who can I claim as a dependent? Qualifying Child:
- They're related to you.
- They aren't claimed as a dependent by someone else.
- They're a US citizen, resident alien, national, or a Canadian or Mexican resident.
- They aren’t filing a joint return with their spouse.
- They're under the age of 19 (or 24 for full-time students).
- There's no age limit for permanently and totally disabled children.
- They lived with you for more than half the year (exceptions apply). A newborn is considered to have lived with you all year.
- They didn't provide more than half of their own support for the year.
