You need to have taxable income to receive the child tax credit.
You may qualify for the "additional child tax credit" if you don't qualify for the normal credit of $2,000 per child.
You can see a summary of your tax return while in TurboTax by doing the following:
1. Find the "Tax Tools" option on your left menu bar and click on it
2. Click on "Tools"
3. Click on "View Tax Summary"
This will allow you to see if you have any income tax or credits.
