To determine if you are eligible for the Additional Child Tax Credit, please use irs.gov ITA tool to complete the interview process. This will help define if you are eligible.
The tool is designed for taxpayers who were U.S. citizens or resident aliens for the entire tax year for which they're inquiring. If married, the spouse must also have been a U.S. citizen or resident alien for the entire tax year. For information about nonresidents or dual-status aliens, please see International taxpayers.
You will need the following information to conduct the interview.
- Your filing status.
- Whether you can claim the person as a dependent.
- The person's date of birth.
