Federal Child Tax Credit

This Federal Tax Credit is for taxpayers who have one or more qualifying children. The credit is a maximum of $1000 per child, subject to certain income restrictions. This tax credit will reduce your tax bill and you can get a refund if you have no more tax to pay. Use tax form 1040 or 1040A, and Form 8812 to claim the tax credit and refund. There are Child Tax Credit Worksheets to help you determine the credit and refund. See www.irs.gov for more information.
