Claiming dependents can increase your refund significantly. We help you file correctly and claim every credit you qualify for.

Key Tax Benefits for Dependents

Dependents can unlock major credits and filing advantages that reduce tax bills and increase refunds for eligible taxpayers.

Child Tax Credit (CTC): Up to roughly $1,700-$2,000 per qualifying child under 17, depending on IRS rules for the tax year.
Credit for Other Dependents: Up to $500 for qualifying dependents who do not meet CTC age criteria.
Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC): Refundable credit that can increase with qualifying children.
Child and Dependent Care Credit: Based on care expenses paid so you can work.
Head of Household Status: Higher standard deduction and potentially lower tax rates when eligible.

Relationship and age: Child must meet IRS relationship tests and age limits for the credit type.
Support: You generally must provide more than half of the dependent's support.
Residency: Dependent typically must live with you for more than half the year.
Valid ID: Social Security number or ITIN is required based on the credit claimed.

Returns claiming EITC or the Additional Child Tax Credit may be held for extra IRS verification, and refunds often start releasing from mid-February.

Credit amounts and eligibility rules can change year to year. We review current IRS guidance before filing your return.
