I'm filing 3 children do I get back more or less for them.? I was told that the first child you automatically get 3,000 for and the others are 1,500. Is this true?

Not true. You may qualify for up to a $1000 Federal Child Tax Credit per child.

To claim the Child Tax Credit

• Your dependent must be under 17 years of age on the last day of the year
• The Child Tax Credit cannot be used to reduce your tax liability below zero (cannot exceed taxes owed)
• Also, the Child Tax Credit is reduced by $50 for every $1,000 that your Adjusted Gross Income exceeds $110,000

State may be different.
