Form 8812 Child Tax Credit

[tscott]

The program is not giving my client the child tax credit for 2022. The client received the child tax credit in 2021. The taxpayer does not have any earned income in 2022 or 2021

Please help

Go over the 8812 and worksheets Line by Line and see if you made a mistake or if the software is correct.

"The taxpayer does not have any earned income in 2022" is probably relevant.

The CTC for 2022 is a nonrefundable credit. If your client has no tax lability there is no credit

The rules in 2021 were a bit different than the rules in 2022.
