The maximum amount of the Child Tax Credit (CTC) for each qualifying child is $2,200 for the 2025 tax year. This amount is specified in the "What’s New" section of Schedule 8812, which notes that the CTC amount increased to $2,200.
Additionally, the Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC), which may be claimed if the CTC exceeds the taxpayer’s tax liability, has a maximum amount of $1,700 per qualifying child. This is detailed in the "Reminders" section of Schedule 8812.
Eligibility for the full CTC and ACTC may be reduced if the taxpayer’s modified adjusted gross income (AGI) exceeds certain thresholds: $400,000 for married filing jointly, and $200,000 for all other filing statuses. These limits are outlined in the "General Instructions" section of Schedule 8812.
