You can view your Child Tax Credit on line 19 of your 1040 Form. Your Additional Child Tax Credit is on line 28.
To preview your Form 1040, refer to the TurboTax article How do I preview my TurboTax Online return before filing?
The child tax credit (CTC) shows up on line 19 of form 1040. The CTC is limited to your tax liability. The CTC is a non-refundable credit and can only reduce your income tax to 0, It can not help you beyond eliminating your tax liability.
But, if you have more than $2500 of earned income, some or all of it is usually given back to you thru the "Additional Child tax credit". That is, part of the CTC may be on line 28 of form 1040 instead of line 19. The ACTC is calculated on form 8812 and is basically 15% of your earned income over $2500. The ACTC is a maximum of $1700 per child, not $2000.
