Deductions & credits

Yeah, I spent some time looking at the proposed 2018 irs forms to see how they will will be treating things.  At first I was mad that i wouldn't get the whole 2x$2000 child tax credit, but i didn't realize ther was an "additional child tax credit" that the rest rolls to, provided you have enough earned income.  I spoke with my CPA, he said I have the right thinking here.  PLUS, i'll get the $5385 of federal witholding back too.  neat!
