Interesting question, you know that the dependent exemption no longer exists in 2018 right?  So are you asking about the child tax credit, or something else?

Technically it exists, but the amount is $0.  :smile:

Fortunately, the change to $0 does not affect other things, such as the threshold to claim a Qualifying Relative (which can potentially mean a $500 credit for the person claiming the dependent).
