Parents who have children under the age of five or younger are eligible for a maximum child tax credit in 2021 of $3,600 per child and $3,000 per child between the ages of six to 17.
An advance payment of 50 percent of the Child Tax Credit was made to families begining from July 15 by the Internal Revenue Service and the last batch of payment is due for December 15.
The payment was based on 2019 and 2020 tax returns. If you make more than $75,000 as a single person or $150,000 for a married couple and $112,500 as the head of a household, your maximum credit starts reducing gradually. Each $1,000 of income above the cut-off level reduces your amount by $50.
