- Juan and​ Maria, who have two young​ children, are in the process of obtaining a divorce. Juan expects to have​ $250,000 of income each year while Maria expects to have​ $180,000 of income each year. Assume the children will live with Maria after the divorce and that Juan will pay child support. What advice can you provide them regarding the child​ credit?   A. The child credit is phased out for single taxpayers with AGI above $400,000. Juan will be entitled to the child credit because his income is below the threshold. The credit is only available to taxpayers who claim the children as​ dependents, so it would be beneficial to allow Juan to claim the children. The tax savings received by Juan should be considered when the amount of child support that Juan must pay is being determined.  B. ​Juan's AGI exceeds $200,000​, but​ Maria's AGI does not. The child credit thus would be reduced if Juan claims​ it, but there would be no reduction if Maria claims it.​ Overall,…arrow_forwardKaelyn's mother, Judy, looks after Kaelyn's four-year-old twins so Kaelyn can go to work (she drops off and picks up the twins from Judy's home every day).
