GOP Tax Cut Doesn't Pay Cost of Living Rise; Shutdown Exposes Complete GOP Disarray!

So everyone above, (myself not included, or some others), will try to claim both credits(?).

End of matter.

The basis for the Additional Child Tax credit is to make lower income families eligible for a refund, even if the other deductions and credits, not including any child credit, create a zero tax liability. That household does not first claim the non-refundable credit at all. That offers no refund. It only claims the additional refundable child tax credit. For 2017, the amounts are the same, regardless of which one gets taken. The amounts are different, is all: For 2018.

"Crow, James Crow: Shaken, Not Stirred!"
(Maybe there is a long-line at Tax Court in the offing(?)!)

It is not likely that court will say that some taxpayers get to take both credits, while other taxpayers are only allowed to take the one for the refund. The person with the $1400 has no access to the other $600, which is likely how the Additional Child Credit was intended to be used.

"Crow, James Crow: Shaken, Not Stirred!"
(Maybe short lines at Tax Court!)

Everyone should claim the $600 non-refundable portion and the $1400 refundable portion of each 2018 child tax credit they are eligible to claim.

Since there is only one credit, it's likely you are mistaken.

Shown by Toddposterpatriot already, there are two credits--separately named on the forms that were shown. Anyone qualifies for the one or the other. The 2018 IRS may even show that the non-refundable credit is $2000.00 per child. The Refundable Credit is $1400.00 per child.

There is nowhere shown that any total of two credits must be $2000 per child or less.

One credit or the other gets taken, within the rules for each of the two separate credits, clearly not the same in the rules.

"Crow, James Crow: Shaken, Not Stirred!"
(Sometimes separate and unequal works: Adjusting for something already unequal!)

Those were the 2017 forms.

The 2018 IRS may even show that the non-refundable credit is $2000.00 per child.

That would be wrong, why would they do that?

The new non-refundable tax credit is $2000 per child would be a start(?).

The clear intent of the "Rotten Ryan" Republicans, and "The Trump Family Zingers", is a repeat of the Bush II Term I two tax cuts for only the rich, and the underfunding of the War Iraq--which even Osama bin laden sat out in Pakistan. Then there happened the "Great Recession."

That is their intended brand.

The New Child Tax Credit - Tax Information Center

• The CTC is worth up to $2,000 per qualifying child. The age cut-off remains at 17 (the child must be under 17 at the end of the year for taxpayers to claim the credit).
• The refundable portion of the credit is limited to $1,400. This amount will be adjusted for inflation after 2018.

Weird, up to $2,000, refundable portion $1,400.

Just like they're talking about a single credit, not an either or......like you theorized.
