Am I Eligible for the Child Tax Credit?
Information You Will Need:
- Citizenship status, filing status, and information about your dependent children (i.e., ages)
- Basic income information and amounts for items such as tax liability and credits
- If you have been provided a Form 8332 (or similar statement) allowing you to claim the child as a dependent, you can consider that the child lived with you for more than half of the year. Keep this in mind when answering related questions during the interview.
Estimated Completion Time: 15 minutes. However: 5 minutes of inactivity will end the interview and you will be forced to start over.
The following interview covers the same questions you would answer if you called our toll-free tax assistance telephone number or if you came into a Taxpayer Assistance Center.
