2024 Colorado Child Tax Credit Instructions Complete this form to calculate the 2024 Colorado child tax credit, which includes the regular Colorado child tax credit and the family affordability tax credit. If you claim a Colorado child tax credit on line 1 of form DR 0104CR, you must complete this form and submit a copy with your 2024 Colorado individual income tax return. Nonresident filers are not eligible for this credit. The regular Colorado child tax credit is a per-child credit for each of the taxpayer’s qualifying children who are under the age of 6 at the end of the tax year. The regular Colorado child tax credit is not allowed if your federal adjusted gross income is greater than $75,000 ($85,000 for joint filers). If your federal adjusted gross income is greater than this amount, or if you do not have qualifying children under age 6, you may be eligible for the family affordability tax credit. The family affordability tax credit is a per-child credit for each of the taxpayer’s qualifying children who are under the age of 17 at the end of the tax year. The family affordability tax credit is not allowed if your federal adjusted gross income is greater than $85,000 ($95,000 for joint filers). If your federal adjusted gross income is greater than this amount, or if you do not have qualifying children under age 17, do not complete this form. You are not eligible for the 2024 Colorado child tax credit. Do you have a qualifying child? Complete the Dependents table on form DR 0104 before completing this form. To complete this form, you will need the number of dependents for whom you marked the “Child Tax Credit” box on the Dependents table and who are: • Under age 6 (5 or younger) at the end of the tax year, or • Age 6 or older, but under age 17 at the end of the tax year (6 to 16). In general, for purposes of the 2024 Colorado child tax credit, a child is a qualifying child if the child: Is your son, daughter, stepchild, foster child, brother, sister, stepbrother, stepsister, half brother, half sister, or a descendant of any of them (for example, your grandchild, niece, or nephew) (see Relationship Test in IRS Publication 501); And Was under age 17 at the end of 2024 (born in 2008 or later); And Lived with you for more than half of 2024 (see Relationship Test in IRS Publication 501); And Did not provide over half of their own support for 2024 (see Support Test in IRS Publication 501); And Does not file a joint federal tax return for 2024 (see Joint Return Test in IRS Publication 501). Special rules apply if a child is the eligible child of more than one person. If this applies to you, see Qualifying Child of More Than One Person in IRS Publication 501. If you do not have any children who meet these qualifications, do not complete this form. You are not eligible for the Colorado child tax credit.
