Question: how much do i have to earn to qualify for child tax credit?
Answer: It only applies to dependents who are younger than 17. The credit is worth up to $2,000 per dependent, but your income level determines exactly much you can get. You need to have earned at least $2,500 to qualify for the CTC. Then it phases out for income above $200,000 for single filers and $400,000 for joint filers.
