Hi, I wondered if someone on the forum could help me understand the 2018 tax credit for dependents.

I make less than $200k, 4 children ages 22, 20, 19, 17.

what are the implications for each (all students for 2018) 2 college, 2 high school. I've read enough to have my head spin...

What is each dependent's tax credit worth?

thank you in advance for taking the time to answer.

The Child and Dependent Care Credit is limited to a range of 20% to 35% of $3k for one qualifying child or dependent under age 13 or $6k for two or more qualifying persons, depending on the taxpayer's Adjusted Gross Income.To claim the child and dependent care credit, You and your spouse usually file as married filing jointly.
