How can I claim the Child Tax Credit?

To claim the CTC, you need to complete Form 1040 or your individual tax return and include your child’s details. Ensure you provide the required information for each qualifying child, including their valid Social Security Number.
Then, attach Schedule 8812, “Credits for Qualifying Children and Other Dependents”. Here, you can also calculate the credit amount that you can claim. Lastly, submit your tax return accurately to the IRS.
