Child tax credit

amber4 · ‎June 6, 2019

We earn around 65k in 2017, filing jointly. Our daughter was born in 2015, and our son was born 8/3/17. Turbo tax says we are only getting 1k back for our kids. Does this sound right?

CHILD TAX CREDIT

The child tax credit can only reduce your tax liability down to zero. It is not a refund. If you have no tax due, then you may not receive the full amount of the $1000 Child Tax Credit

If your child turned 17 at any time during 2017, then you will not receive the child tax credit.

If you are claiming the Child Tax Credit for a child who was born in 2017, make sure you said in My Info that the child lived with you all year and that you entered the child’s SSN.
