My income was rounded up $700.00 dollars. Now I do not qualify for the Child Tax Credit. How is this possible?

That's how it's done for calculating the Child tax credit (CTC). If it had rounded down, it would have only gotten you $50 of CTC.

In 2017, the phase out threshold is $55,000 for married couples filing separately; $75,000 for single, head of household, and qualifying widow or widower filers; and $110,000 for married couples filing jointly. For each $1,000 of income (rounded up) above the threshold, your available child tax credit is reduced by $50
