Who can get the Child Tax Credit? 

The Child Tax Credit comes in two parts.

The regular Child Tax Credit lowers the taxes you owe by up to $1,000 per child.

The Additional Child Tax Credit can give you a refund if you don't owe any taxes.

A child can count if:
- he or she is 16 or younger at the end of the year
- you can claim him or her as a dependent on your tax return.

Also, you and the child must both have a Social Security Number or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number.
