I am really confused as to why my husband and I only received $221 for our tax return for the year 2022. We are married/jointly and our income is well below the $400,000 joint income cap. We have two qualifying dependents and also paid for daycare for the entire year. On our taxes is deducted from line 33 (payments) - $8,326 from line 24 (tax and credits) - $8,105 to come up with the $221 on line 34.
- What would be some legitimate reasons that we would not get this credit given to us?
All of our other friends received their child credits and made more together than us and I filed our taxes by myself this past year and I feel like maybe I messed something up. I am paying for a tax person this year and I will also have them look into our tax return from 2022 while we file for the year 2023.
