How to Qualify for $1,000?
According to an article published on Tax Credit for Vermonters, not all parents will qualify to receive the $1,000 in Child Tax Credit. This credit will only apply to the following:
- Parents with children under the age of 6.
- If either a single or joint filer makes more than $125,000 in adjusted gross income, their rebate would be reduced.
- Beyond $125,000, the credit amount goes down by $20 for every additional $1,000 in income.
- The credit phases out completely at $175,000.
Furthermore, some undocumented residents in Vermont can also claim the $1,000 in child tax credit. The state does not require Social Security Number (SSN) but only taxpayer identification number (ITIN) to get the credit.
