Deductions & credits

Here is how the additional child tax credit that ends up on line 28 is calculated:

 

 

Take the amount you earned from working, subtract $2500, and multiply what is left by 15%.  That is your additional child tax credit ---- up to a maximum of $1700 per child for 2024.   For 2023 that maximum was $1600.
