Deductions & credits

To add to Nick's excellent answer, if by "top up payments" you are referring to the Advance Child Tax Credit payments that started this month, I wanted to point out that a payment of $500 is indeed for two children.

The maximum payment you would receive for a single child is $300 per month.
