How much does a single parent get with one child?
Before 2021, the credit was worth up to $2,000 per eligible child. Individuals and families whose earnings exceed the revised limits are still eligible for the $2,000-per-child credit with an income of up to $200,000 for single and head-of-household filers and $400,000 for married couples. Do single parents get more tax credits? Filing as head of household on your tax return provides two benefits for single parents: You'll be able to claim a higher standard deduction, and you can earn more than single filers before you move into the next higher tax bracket.
