The child tax credit is a nonrefundable credit. A nonrefundable credit means that the credit can't be used to increase your tax refund or to create tax refund when you wouldn't have already had one.

However, taxpayers who are not able to claim the full amount of the child tax credit may be able to take the refundable additional child tax credit.

The Additional Child Tax Credit can be worth up to $1,600, depending on your income. You must have at least $2,500 in earned income to claim the credit. As xmasbaby0 mentioned you can the Additional Child Tax Credit on line 28
