How do I know how much I got for the child tax credit? You can see the amount by looking at your form 1040. The Child tax credit is on line 19 of your form 1040 and the Additional Child Tax Credit is on line 28. If you Do not have an amount on line 19, then you did not get the Child Tax Credit. I
How do I know if I got the full amount or not? If line 19 is less than $2,000 per child then you did not get the full amount so then you can look at line 28. If that is less than $1,700 per child you did not get the full amount. If there is an amount on line 19, that would reduce the amount on line 28.
As well as why have the two different dollar amounts? I didn't have to pay any back taxes. So how much did I recieve back? We cannot see your return so we cannot tell you how much you are getting. The 2 different amounts are because the Child Tax Credit is not refundable so they made the additional child tax credit so more people could claim it.
