So, I'm filing my taxes this year and realized only one of my two kids is eligible for the Child Tax Credit... WTF? Her 18th birthday is in 2016 so I figured she would be good through 2015 but the law was changed at some point so that the child has to be less that 17 years old in the year you are filing (2015 in this case). So now I have to write a check to Uncle Same for $748.
I'm posting as a PSA to other unsuspecting parents of 17 year old kids to inform them the law has changed.
Also, would like to know when the law was changed from 18 to 17 - just so I know when I lost touch with things of this nature.
Finally, which political party should I be mad at for this change? I'm assuming it's all Obama's fault, but want to be sure - TIA!
