The Child Tax Credit is entered on your federal tax return Form 1040 on Line 28. It is added to your other tax payments, it is not a separate refund. Your Total taxes from Line 24 are subtracted from your Total tax payments on Line 33. If you have an overpayment then that is entered on Line 34 as your federal tax refund.

Line 28 was included in the refund on line 35a.  It either added to your refund or reduced a tax due.  Oh and your total refund isn't necessarily the amount of the credit.  

 Did the IRS send you less than 35a?

[Ammu]

Yes -1040 i received on 35a ,but not 32.ALso 35a not have any relation with 32(28,30).

Refund depends only on 33,24,34 finally 35a.

Unsure how it (32)got added/calculated.

[VolvoGirl]

You only get the refund on 35a.  It is the total bottom line.  It includes ALL the lines above it.  Start at line 16 and follow the math down.

Sorry--you are just not understanding the math.   Line 32 is the total all the way from lines 27a down through line 31.   All of your credits were included in the refund you saw on 35a.   You got your whole refund.  You are done.

From your 1040

32 Add lines 27a and 28 through 31. These are your total other payments and refundable credits ▶ 32

[VolvoGirl]

Line 32 is included in line 33.  Read the line description.  Then all the payments and credits on line 33 are subtracted from the tax on line 24 to give you the refund or more tax due.

READ Lines 32 & 33

The Refundable Child Tax Credit is on Line 28.   Line 32 is the total of refundable credits and Line 33 is total payments.

I received my taxes and there was no child tax credit. I'm due 3,000.00. I entered the amount that was on the letter from IRS. Why did I not get it??

[7Children]

I  already paid, and got my return, but no 3,000.

[7Children]

I should have gotten another 3,000. I did not get it.

@7Children   Did you check your return for it?  It should be on 1040 line 28.  It was included in your refund on line 35a.  It doesn't come separately.

Anyone know if your tax refund would be in 2 deposits (direct)? Meaning, we received our federal refund but are still owed for EIC and CTC. It does show on Line 28 on our tax return the correct amount still owed to us. Received our federal last week, just wondering (and hoping) they are sending the rest this week. I've seen everywhere that we should be expecting our tax return with our EIC and CTC the first week of March. Just have not seen anything on whether it would all be in one deposit or two. Thanks. 

[VolvoGirl]

Was the refund you got the amount on line 35a?   That includes the EIC and Child Tax Credit.

[KMDE]

The amount on line 35a is what I received but I was told (and expecting) we'd get the remaining half (ctc) with our refund....so does this mean, the amount I got on line 35a is ALL I'm receiving? Nothing else is coming in?
