Question: is actc the same as ctc?
Answer: The Child Tax Credit (CTC) is a credit for up to $1,000 per qualifying child under age 17. ... The ACTC is a refundable credit. That means you can take the child care credit even if you don't owe any income tax – or if the amount you owe is low. To qualify for the ACTC, you need more than $3,000 in earned income.
