Didnt they change it for 2022?  Not the same as 2020 and 2021.

Definitely different from 2020 & 2021.  Are you saying that they do not qualify for CTC if they do not have any earned income?  That is not how I read it on IRS.gov.   

Thanks in advance for your help.

Google is your friend:

In 2022, the tax credit will be refundable only up to $1,500 (up from $1,400 in 2020 to adjust for inflation), depending on your income, and you must have earned income of at least $2,500 to even be eligible for the refund.

THANK YOU!!!!!

 

Your Google was way nicer to you because I searched it several times and everything that I was getting was about 2021 tax year.

YVW... a lot of clients are likely to be 'surprised'.
