5.0
✓ A tax credit based solely on the number of qualifying children under
age 17. The maximum credit available is $1,000 per child through 2017.
A qualifying child must be claimed as a dependent on a parent's tax
return to qualify for the credit. Taxpayers who qualify for the child tax

therefore refundable. The credit is phased out for higher-income
taxpayers. § 24.
