Child Tax Credit Calculator 2022

The Child Tax Credit can be a partially refundable tax credit ($1,500 partially refundable for qualifying individuals) via the Additional Child Tax Credit. This #childtaxcredit calculator not only informs you if a person qualifies as a dependent on your 2022 Tax Return, but also if you qualify for the Child Tax Credit, the Dependent Care Credit, and/or the Other Dependent Credit. Based on the age of the qualifying dependent as of December 31, 2022, you will see if they qualify as a dependent, the estimated amount of the Child Tax Credit you can expect, the estimated Credit for Other Dependents, and the Child and Dependent Care Credit amount.
