Get your taxes done using TurboTax

The Child Tax Credit listed on your 1040 Line 19 can only be as much as your tax liability at that point on your return. 

If that shows as 892, I assume that was all the tax liability you had at that point of the return. 

 

The remaining credit becomes and is listed as the Additional Child Tax Credit. 

That will be listed on your 1040 Line 28.

 

The credit is calculated per child. 

The credit can be reduced depending on your income.
