Your earned income credit and/or child tax credit are based on the amount of income you earned by working. The amount of the refundable child tax credit you could get based on the income you mention is "about" $120.

You can use the IRS earned income credit assistant to see what your earned income credit should be based upon the income you earned and the number of dependents you are claiming.

The IRS offers a tool to help you estimate your EIC:

Both of you would need to amend your returns. Who is the person that could claim you and the children? Is it your parent or grandparent--or someone else?
