Get your taxes done using TurboTax

It sounds like you entered information for other credits in the IRS W4 simulator or indicated that you itemize your deductions.

It's a bit confusing, but Line 3 of the W4 is kind of a catch all for all the deductions and credits. It includes amounts for other credits in addition to the Child Tax and Dependent Credits. In addition, the simulator makes an adjustment on this line if you entered information regarding itemizing your deductions vs taking the standard deduction.
