how much do you get per child for income tax
The Child Tax Credit allows parents and guardians to reduce their federal income tax by up to $1,000 for each qualifying child they have under the age of 17. If the amount of the Child Tax Credit exceeds your tax debt, you can claim the Additional Child Tax Credit and receive some of this back as a refund. In 2010 this credit phased out for married taxpayers who had an income of $110,000 or greater and for single filers at $55,000.
