Oh---and you asked about the dependent care credit. That is a credit you can get if you paid someone to take care of your child so you can work. That is not refundable--it is not added to your refund. If you made only $11,700, you had no tax liability, so the dependent care credit would not do anything for you. It can only reduce tax you owe----and with your income of $11,700 you would not owe any tax.
