2023 Instructions for Schedule 8812
Use Schedule 8812 (Form 1040) to figure your child tax credit (CTC), credit for other depend-
ents (ODC), and additional child tax credit (ACTC). The CTC and ODC are nonrefundable
credits. The ACTC is a refundable credit.

sions), you can’t claim the CTC, ODC, or ACTC on either your origi-
nal or an amended 2023 return.
If you apply for an ITIN on or before the due date of your 2023
return (including extensions) and the IRS issues you an ITIN as a re-
sult of the application, the IRS will consider your ITIN as issued on or
before the due date of your return.
Future Developments

8812 and its instructions, such as legislation enacted after they were
Each Qualifying Child You Use for CTC or ACTC Must
Have the Required SSN
If you have a qualifying child who does not have the required SSN,
you can’t use the child to claim the CTC or ACTC on either your orig-
inal or an amended 2023 return. The required SSN is one that is valid
for employment and is issued before the due date of your 2023 return
(including extensions).
What’s New
ACTC amount increased. The maximum amount of ACTC for each
qualifying child increased to $1,600.
Reminders
Delayed refund for returns claiming ACTC. The IRS can’t issue
refunds before mid-February 2024 for returns that properly claim
ACTC. This time frame applies to the entire refund, not just the por-
tion associated with ACTC.
If your qualifying child was born and died in 2023 and you do not
have an SSN for the child, attach a copy of the child's birth certificate,
death certificate, or hospital records. The document must show the
child was born alive.
Abbreviations. The following abbreviations will be used in these in-
structions when appropriate.
If your qualifying child does not have the required SSN, but has
another type of taxpayer identification number issued on or before the
due date of your 2023 return (including extensions), you may be able
to claim the ODC for that child. See Credit for Other Dependents
(ODC), later.
ACTC means additional child tax credit.
ATIN means adoption taxpayer identification number.
CTC means child tax credit.
ITIN means individual taxpayer identification number.
ODC means credit for other dependents.

sions), you can’t use that dependent to claim the ODC on either your
original or an amended 2023 return.

If you apply for an ITIN or ATIN for the dependent on or before
the due date of your 2023 return (including extensions) and the IRS
issues the ITIN or ATIN as a result of the application, the IRS will
consider the ITIN or ATIN as issued on or before the due date of your
return.

Improper Claims
If you erroneously claim the CTC, ACTC, or ODC and it is later de-
termined that your error was due to reckless or intentional disregard of
the CTC, ACTC, or ODC rules, you will not be allowed to claim any

of these credits for 2 years even if you are otherwise eligible to do so.
If it is determined that your error was due to fraud, you will not be al-
lowed to claim any of these credits for 10 years. You may also have to
pay penalties.
Example 2. Your sibling’s 10-year-old child lives in Mexico and
qualifies as your dependent. The child is not a U.S. citizen, U.S. na-
tional, or U.S. resident alien. You can’t use the child to claim the
ODC.
Form 8862 may be required. If your CTC (refundable or nonrefund-
able depending on the tax year), ACTC, or ODC for a year after 2015
was denied or reduced for any reason other than a math or clerical er-
ror, you must attach Form 8862 to your tax return to claim the CTC,
ACTC, or ODC unless an exception applies. See Form 8862, Informa-
tion To Claim Certain Credits After Disallowance, and its instructions
for more information, including whether an exception applies.
For each dependent for whom you are claiming the ODC, you must
check the “Credit for other dependents” box in column (4) of the De-
pendents section on page 1 of Form 1040, 1040-SR, or 1040-NR for
the dependent.
You can’t use the same child to claim the credits under
Credits for Qualifying Children and the ODC.

CAUTION
Effect of Credit on Welfare Benefits
Adopted child. An adopted child is always treated as your own child.
An adopted child includes a child lawfully placed with you for legal
adoption.
Any refund you receive as a result of taking the ACTC can’t be coun-
ted as income when determining if you or anyone else is eligible for
benefits or assistance, or how much you or anyone else can receive,
under any federal program or under any state or local program fi-
nanced in whole or in part with federal funds. These programs include
Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), Medicaid, Supple-
mental Security Income (SSI), and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance
Program (formerly food stamps). In addition, when determining eligi-
bility, the refund can’t be counted as a resource for at least 12 months
after you receive it. Check with your local benefits coordinator to find
out if your refund will affect your benefits.
If you are a U.S. citizen or U.S. national and your adopted child
lived with you all year as a member of your household in 2023, that
child meets condition (3), earlier, to be a qualifying person for the
ODC.
Limits on the CTC and ODC
The maximum credit amount of your CTC and ODC may be reduced
if either (1) or (2) applies.
1. The amount on line 18 of your Form 1040, 1040-SR, or
1040-NR is less than both credits. If the amount is zero, you cannot
take either credit because there is no tax to reduce. But you may be
able to take the ACTC if you are claiming the CTC (you cannot take
the ACTC if you are only claiming the ODC). See Part II-A Addition-
Credits for Qualifying Children
The CTC and ACTC are credits for individuals who claim a child as a
dependent if the child meets certain conditions. To claim a child for
the CTC and ACTC, the child must be your dependent, under age 17
at the end of 2023, and meet all the conditions in Steps 1 through 3
under Who Qualifies as Your Dependent in the Instructions for Form
1040.
2. Your modified adjusted gross income (AGI) is more than the
amount shown below for your filing status.
Married filing jointly –$400,000
All other filing statuses –$200,000
•
Example 1. Your child turned 17 on December 30, 2023, and is a
citizen of the United States and claimed as a dependent on your return.
You can’t use the child to claim the CTC or ACTC because the child
was not under age 17 at the end of 2023.
•
Modified AGI. For purposes of the CTC and ODC, your modified
AGI is the amount on line 3 of Schedule 8812.
For each qualifying child for whom you are claiming the CTC or
ACTC, you must check the “Child tax credit” box in column (4) of the
Dependents section on page 1 of Form 1040, 1040-SR, or 1040-NR
for the child.

Bona Fide Residents of Puerto Rico
If you were a bona fide resident of Puerto Rico, you may be eligible to
claim the ACTC if you had at least one qualifying child. You can
