Internal Revenue Manual Part 25. Special Topics · 2026-10-03 edition · updated 2026-10-04 · United States
Residents of Puerto Rico qualify for CTC but are not entitled to the advanced payments. They will receive any refundable amount when filing their tax year 2021 return.
The increased amount of the credit ($1,000 for qualifying children aged 6-17; $1,600 for qualifying children under the age of 6) is subject to limitation when the modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) exceeds the applicable threshold amount for the filing status:
$150,000 for married filing joint and surviving spouse
$112,500 for head of household
$75,000 for all other filing statuses
When the credit limitation applies, the credit will be reduced by $50 for each $1,000 (or portion of $1,000) in excess of the threshold amount for the filing status. The amount of the reduction must not exceed the lesser of the increased amount of the credit ($1,000 for qualifying children aged 6-17; $1,600 for qualifying children under the age of 6) or 5% of the applicable phaseout threshold range (difference between AGI and threshold).
