Get your taxes done using TurboTax
You say you "made over $2500." You must earn at least $2500 to get the additional child tax credit, but earning just over $2500 does not mean you will get the full refundable amount of up to $1700 per child. It is based on the amount OVER $2500 that you earned.
Take the amount you earned from working. Subtract $2500 from that. Take what is left and multiply by 15% That is the additional child tax credit per child you get that will end up on line 28 of your Form 1040.
