The answer is option (b) $4,000

Explanation:

Solution

Given that:

Now

The income of George and Martha is = $119.650

For year 2019 child tax credit is $2,000 per dependent child subject to a minimum income of $2,500.

The Income limit for Married Jointly Filed is = $400,000.

Thus

They are eligible for $2,000 tax credit per child.

So,

Tax Credit = $2,000 * 2

= $4,000

Note: The AGI limit phaseout begins at $400000 for joint tax filers
