Repaying Tax Credit After Marriage?

Researched by Greg Published - April 28, 2015

I qualified for a pre-tax credit with my two children. In October I remarried and my husband makes a lot more money than I do. My tax preparer says I have to repay $1500 of the pre-tax credit even though I qualified Jan-Oct. Is that correct? Why do I have to repay $1500 when my credit was only $395 and I qualified for all but two months?
