Enter the total your household actually received.
If you are married filing joint, you each received a letter. It could be your letter says $4200 and your spouse's letter say $1400. It could be that you and your spouse received a total of $4200 and you added another child to your return so that you qualify for an additional $1400.
The program adds together the amounts entered for each of you to get your combined total. Then the combined total is compared to the number of people on your return. You have 4 people on the return for $5,600. If all 4 were on it last year, you should have gotten the $5,600.
If you are head of household and had 3 on your return last year - you and two others, then $4200 would have been the amount received. If you added a parent, child, someone to your return, you would now have 4 for $5600 credit.
