I think you are probably referring the the Child Tax Credit.

To qualify for the Child Tax Credit, your child must fit all of these requirements:

Be under age 17 at the end of the tax year
Is your son, daughter, stepchild, foster child, adopted child, brother, sister, stepbrother, stepsister, half-brother, half-sister, or a descendant of any of them (for example, a grandchild, niece, or nephew)
Has his or her own Social Security Number
Lived with you for more than half the year
Didn't support him/herself (i.e., didn't pay more than half their own expenses)
Is a U.S. citizen, U.S. national, or U.S. resident alien

Additionally, you must have tax liability for the credit to be applied to. If you do not, you may qualify for the Additional Child Tax Credit.

Why do you think you were supposed to get $1000 back for having a dependent? Was the dependent your child, or someone else? A girlfriend/boyfriend? parent?
