As a response to the COVID-19 pandemic, some tax credit limits were changed to help ease some financial hardships amongst taxpayers. This year those credits have been revised and gone back to their pre-COVID levels.
The credit has been reverted back to its original limits. Those who got $3,600 per dependent in 2021 will, if eligible, get $2,000 for every dependent under age 16 for their 2022 tax return.
Income Limits:
- Single Filer & Head of Households: $200,000
- Joint Filers: $400,000
Who qualifies as a dependent for this credit?
Eligible taxpayers with no children who received roughly $1,500 in 2021 will now get $500 for the 2022 tax year.
