Indeed it does! The 'Child Tax Credit' (CTR) and 'Additional Child Tax Credit' (ACTR) have been on the books since 1998. The CTR reduces the parents' tax liability, while the ACTR is considered to be a refundable payment.

Prior to 2001, the ACTR was limited to individuals who paid social security taxes. Beginning in tax year 2001, the tax code was liberalized to allow the ACTR to individuals who reported earned income, yet did not pay social security taxes. This means that the U.S. government agreed to disperse refunds to people who didn't pay any taxes. The maximum amount of the disbursement is $600 per child for 2001 and 2002. The amount per child increases to $1000 for 2003.

For example, a couple living abroad with four children earning $35,000 is eligible for a refund of $2,400 assuming that they are not liable for any U.S. taxes.

Many U.S. citizens living and working abroad are eligible to benefit by this largess. The basic criteria are.

1. American citizenship for you or your spouse.
2. Earned income over $10,000.
3. One or more children under 17 as of December 31.

The purpose of this site is to explain how the credit works and how to file your U.S. tax return so that you can claim your refund. The information is presented without any warranty or guarantee of accuracy. If you have any doubts or questions, and even if you don't, please read the official IRS documents.

Some people might want to take advantage of this fabulous opportunity, but don't want to go through the trouble of doing it yourself. If you meet the basic criteria above, then I would be happy to be of service to you, with 100% guaranteed results.
