No one can see your information or your tax return so we cannot say why you were not eligible for the child tax credit or a state credit. In order to get the child tax credit, you must have a dependent child under the age of 17 who has a Social Security number, and you must have income earned from working. How old was your child? Did you enter their SSN? Did you say they lived with you for at least half the year--or if the child was a newborn did you say they lived with you for the whole year? Did you enter income earned by working?
