IRA SAVINGS 2023 Child Tax Credit The American Rescue Plan no longer applies. The child tax credit has reverted to $2,000 per child and the maximum age limit is now 16 years old. What is the Earned Income Tax Credit? The EITC is a tax credit intended to reduce or eliminate the tax paid by low and moderate-income wage earners. The EITC doesn’t just cut the amount of tax you owe -- it could score you a refund, and in some cases, a refund that’s more than what you actually paid in taxes. Don’t miss out!

You can claim this credit if you spend money for the care of children younger than 12 so that you can work or look for work. You must have earned income (that’s earnings from a job, not investments) to qualify for the credit, and if you’re married, both you and your spouse must have a job or be a full-time student. The cost of day care, preschool, before-and after-school care, day camp, or a nanny or other baby- sitter can count toward the credit. How much is the credit worth? That depends on the number of children, the cost of care, and your income. You can count up to $3,000 in child-care expenses for one child, or up to $6,000 for two or more children. The credit is a percentage of the amount spent on child care, and that percentage gradually decreases as income increases. Families that earn less than $15,000 can claim a credit for 35% of qualifying expenses; families that earn more than $43,000 get the smallest credit: 20% on eligible costs. It isn’t Rocket Science ...but it is genius!
