Please see the following excerpt of publications by IRS
Limits on the Credit
You must reduce your child tax credit if either (1) or (2) applies.
The amount on Form 1040, line 46; Form 1040A, line 28; or Form 1040NR, line
43; is less than the credit. If this amount is zero, you cannot take this
credit because there is no tax to reduce. But you may be able to take the
additional child tax credit. See Additional Child Tax Credit, later.

LAWYERS' INCOME IN NEW YORK
Excerpt of article by Andrew Beveridge, December, 2004
Think “New York Lawyer” and it is easy to picture a partner who earns $1.391
million a year (which was the average compensation for a partner in a top New

associates – people just out of law school -- can make up to $150,000 a year.
The top earners make more than anywhere else in the United States, and there
are so many more of them in New

山核桃可谓是一种最能代表美国的产品。美国开国元勋华盛顿(Washington)和杰斐逊(
Jefferson)就曾种过山核桃树,山核桃还是阿肯色州、阿拉巴马州和德克萨斯州的代表
性干果。美国山核桃种植规模约占全球三分之二,其中大多数都由美国本土所消化。
世代以来,山核桃价格丰年便跌,收成不好时便猛涨,但最近却一路上涨。美国农业部
(U.S Department of Agriculture)数据显示,一磅(约合0.45公斤)带壳山核桃去年平
均售价2.14美元,是三年前的近两倍。
涨价原因:中国人要美国的山核桃。
