Question

Tim Thompson is a single taxpayer and he qualifies for the entire Child Tax Credit. In 2019, Tim has a modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) of $203,000. When Tim prepares his income tax return his Child Tax Credit will be reduced by what amount

Answer 1

Answer:

$1,850

Explanation:

The maximum child tax credit per qualifying child was 2,000 during 2019. But this amount starts to phase out if the single person's MAGI is higher than $200,000 per year.

It phases out by $50 for every $1,000 that your MAGI exceeds the threshold, in this case = 3 x $50 = $150 phase out.

Total deduction = $2,000 - $150 = $1,850
