Disabled Dependent > 24 years old

Recommended Posts

Head of Household client has a disabled daughter who is greater than 24 and takes her as a dependent on her return.  This is stipulated in the divorce decree.  I don't believe the client qualifies for any type of ACTC, since the daughter does not qualify for the Child Tax Credit to begin with.  Is my understanding correct?

The child tax credit is for children under the age of 17.  The advance allows for children who turn 17 in 2021.  Any other child, whether an 18-year-old student or 25-year disabled child does not qualify as a "child" for the credit.  Your client's daughter does qualify her for the "qualifying relative" $500 deduction, but no child tax credits.
