Schedule 8812 2025. Here are eight dependent tax breaks to consider when preparing your taxes, which can help you save money and maximize your refund. If you claimed children on your return and did not use the full credit to pay the federal tax due part of the credit is refundable.
In 2025, the maximum child tax credit (ctc) available per qualifying child will be $2,000, and the full amount can be refunded through the additional child tax credit. To determine whether you’re eligible for the additional child tax credit, you can fill out schedule 8812 along with your form 1040.
