After you file

There is no such thing as "additional earned income."    Are you confusing that with additional child tax credit?  If you got the child tax credit it is on line 13a of your Form 1040.  If you got the additional child tax credit it is on line 18b of Form 1040.  Not everyone qualifies for it.  What did it say as you were preparing your return?
