MFS can get the full credit according to everything I've read about it.

Where do the Regs say that only half should be allowed?

As far as I know, nothing has changed in that regard. Filing Separately still allows the full Child Tax Credit (assuming all other requirements are met).

I thought I read somewhere that MFS only got half the CTC also..I don't have any MFS clients with kids, so I didn't really pay much attention to be honest.

I'd be shocked if that was the case.

There must be an incorrect article out there somewhere that says it...I know I read it somewhere.

CTC is the same for both MFJ and MFS before and after TCJA, only that the phase-out threshold for MFS is always half of that for MFJ.
