If the income you earned from working is less than $3000 you are on the edge of not being eligible for the refundable additional child tax credit. You need at least $2500 of income from working to get any thing added to your refund. You get 15% of the amount over $2500 added to your refund. So that is very little.
You might also get a small amount of earned income credit.
But----you have self-employment income which is why it says you have to upgrade. You cannot put self-employment income into the Free Edition.
