When you are reclaiming the child tax credit, it is not guaranteed that you will be cleared and qualified for the credit. Sometimes the IRS might deny you a child tax credit if you don't meet the qualification rules. The grounds for disqualification for the child tax credit include the following:
● If the child is not related to you.
● If the child did not live with you in the same house for a period not exceeding half the tax period.
● If the age, student, and disability status will affect the qualification.
● If your child files a joint return with another person.
