To claim the Additional Child Tax Credit, you will need to use Schedule 8812 (Form 1040). Here are the specific forms and steps involved:
- Form 1040 (or 1040-SR, 1040-NR): This is your primary tax return form where you will claim and report the Child Tax Credit and the Additional Child Tax Credit.
- Schedule 8812 (Form 1040): Use this schedule to calculate the Additional Child Tax Credit. Part I of the form is to be completed by all filers to start calculating the credit.
- Child Tax Credit Worksheet: Typically found in the instructions for Form 1040, this worksheet helps determine the amount of Child Tax Credit you are eligible for before calculating the Additional Child Tax Credit on Schedule 8812.
These forms ensure that you accurately calculate and claim the Additional Child Tax Credit based on your qualifying children and income conditions.
