Taking Full Advantage of the Child Tax Credit?
Families with dependent children may be able to take advantage of the child tax credit when completing their 2011 tax returns. The IRS allows eligible single or married individuals with low or moderate incomes to claim a tax credit up to $1,000 per child. The credit reduces the federal income tax owed to the IRS. You can claim the child tax credit in addition to other tax credits you may receive due to child care expenses. You must meet the eligibility requirements established by the IRS to receive the child tax credit. IRS guidelines require that children are under age 17 and must have lived with you at least half of the year. You must be the only individual claiming the child as a dependent. You are ineligible for the credit if the child financially contributed to more than half of their own care. Only one parent can claim a child for the tax credit, even if the parents are married but filing separate returns. The IRS administers a relationship test that requires the child to be related to you in some form. This may include your child, step-child, adopted child, sister, brother, foster child or grandchild. The IRS prohibits claiming a child that does not meet its criteria. All children claimed for the credit must be U.S. citizens, and you must include their Social Security numbers on your tax return. The IRS begins to reduce the amount of the child tax credit if your modified adjusted income is higher than the amount established by the IRS. The phase-out starts at $75,000 for unmarried taxpayers, $110,000 for married taxpayers filing a joint return, and $55,000 for married couples filing individual tax returns. If your child tax credit is limited due to a phase-out, you may possibly meet the requirements of the additional child tax credit. The requirements include you earning an annual income of more than $3,000 and having paid Social Security and Medicare taxes equaling more than the Earned Income Credit, or that you have three or more kids that meet the qualifications for the original credit. The child tax credit cannot be carried forward into future years.

How much does your gross income have to be to get the child's tax credit and does unemployment count as gross income?
The Child Tax Credit is $1,000 for each of your dependent children that you are claiming that are 16 or younger. It doesn't have anything to do with gross income. This credit is nonrefundable, so it can only reduce your tax to zero. If your tax is less than this credit (see worksheet in IRS instructions), you will only claim enough of the credit to reduce your tax to zero & you may qualify for the Additional Child Tax Credit. The Additional Child Tax Credit is refundable (you can get money back if it's more than your taxes). It can be affected by your income. If the Child Tax Credit worksheet directs you to this credit, use IRS Form 8812 & instructions to see how much to claim. The total claimed on the line for Child Tax Credit & Additional Child Tax Credit cannot be more than $1,000 for each dependent child age 16 or younger. Yes, unemployment is part of gross income. However, it is not earned income.
