Deductions & credits

The Other Dependent Credit is a non-refundable credit. This means that it can take your tax liability down to $0, but not less than $0.   Once that number hits $0, there is no further benefits from any additional non-refundable credits.

 

 If you look at your 1040 line 16, you will likely see that the number is $0.  If you remove your dependent, that number would change back to $337.
