Section 24 of the Internal Revenue
Code allows taxpayers a credit for each of their dependent children
who is under age 17 at the close of the taxpayer's tax year. The
credit is advantageous to taxpayers as it directly reduces the tax
liability for the year and, if the taxpayer has three or more
children, may result in a refundable amount of credit.
