The Child Tax Credit:

The child tax credit provides a credit of up to $2,000 per child under age 17. If the credit exceeds taxes owed, families may receive up to $1,400 per child as a refund. Other dependents—including children ages 17–18 and full-time college students ages 19–24—can receive a nonrefundable credit of up to $500 each.

In the given question, Michael and Diana are filing the returns together; ie, a joint return.

For the year 2019, the following provides data related to

Since there are 3 children, the total credit would be $ 2,000 * 3 persons = $ 6,000.

Total income jointly would be = $ 52,000 + $ 500 = $ 52,500
