Some additional tax credits and deductions were adjusted for 2019 or changed under the tax reform law. Here's a look at a few of the most popular:
THE CHILD TAX CREDIT
The child tax credit has been expanded to $2,000 per qualifying child and is refundable up to $1,400, subject to phaseouts. The bill also includes a temporary $500 nonrefundable credit for other qualifying dependents. Phaseouts, which are not indexed for inflation, will begin with adjusted gross income (AGI) of more than $400,000 for married taxpayers filing jointly and more than $200,000 for all other taxpayers.

THE EARNED INCOME TAX CREDIT (EITC).
For 2019, the maximum EITC amount available is $6,557 for married taxpayers filing jointly who have three or more qualifying children. Phaseouts apply. You can check out Revenue Procedure 2018-57 (downloads as a pdf) for a table providing maximum credit amounts for other categories, income thresholds, and phaseouts.
ADOPTION CREDIT
Despite rumors of the death of the adoption credit, it’s still in place. For 2019, the credit allowed for an adoption of a child with special needs is $14,080, and the maximum credit allowed for other adoptions is the amount of qualified adoption expenses up to $13,810. Phaseouts apply.
STUDENT LOAN INTEREST DEDUCTION
Like the adoption credit, there were rumors that the student loan interest deduction had been shuttered: it was not. For 2019, the maximum amount that you can deduct for interest paid on student loans remains $2,500. Phaseouts apply for taxpayers with MAGI more than $70,000 ($140,000 for joint returns) and the deduction is completely phased out for taxpayers with MAGI of $85,000 or more ($170,000 or more for joint returns).
LIFETIME LEARNING CREDIT
For the 2019 tax year, the adjusted gross income amount used by joint filers to determine the reduction in the Lifetime Learning Credit is $116,000, up from $114,000 for tax year 2018.
