Oh....and 8862 is not the form for the child tax credit. 8862 is the form for earned income credit. If you are getting earned income credit it shows up on line 27a of your Form 1040.
The form for the child tax credit is 8812 and the CTC shows up on line 28.
Just setting the record straight since there is already enough confusion about the child-related credits.
