Deductions & credits

@madi144551 That is why you are not getting any child tax credit.   You did not have enough income from working.   You need at least $2500 of income from working to get anything.     Re-read the details provided to you in my earlier reply.   The refundable part of the CTC is based on the amount OVER $2500 that you earned---and you did not even earn $2500.  Sorry.

 

AND….If you have children but had  little or no income, it raises the question of how you and the children were supported.  There may be another tax-paying adult who can claim you and/or the children as dependents.
