Deductions & credits

You should go through the dependent interviews again.   It sounds like your kids are not listed as qualifying children, which they need to be for the $2000 credit.   If you have answered something incorrect in the interview, it will show them as qualifying other dependents, which is only a $500 credit.    Go back through the My Info / Personal Info and Dependent entries carefully.
