Your child-related credits are affected in a big way by how much you earned by working.  If you would like to tell us what is in Box 1 of your W-2 we can help you understand your refund.

Your Child-related tax credits are phased out could be because you make too much money. 

 

 

The Child Tax Credit is reduced if your modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) is above certain amounts, which are determined by your tax-filing status.

  • In 2017, the phase out threshold is $55,000 for married couples filing separately; $75,000 for single, head of household, and qualifying widow or widower filers; and $110,000 for married couples filing jointly. For each $1,000 of income above the threshold, your available child tax credit is reduced by $50.
  • Beginning in 2018, the phaseout of the credit begins with $200,000 in income ($400,000 for married filing jointly).

There is a "phase-In" too for very low incomes...

 

......which is why @xmasbaby0  asked about your working income in some of your W-2 boxes.
