it says that i qualify for the child tax credit however i do not see it being applied to my taxes, what am i missing

[DoninGA]

If you are eligible for the Child Tax Credit, the amount will be on your federal tax return, Form 1040 on Line 19.  It will be included in your federal tax refund or it will reduce the amount of taxes owed.

Look at your Form 1040 -

You can view your Form 1040 plus Schedules 1, 2 and 3 at any time using the online editions. Click on Tax Tools on the left side of the online program screen. Click on Tools. Click on View Tax Summary. Click on Preview my 1040 on the left side of the screen.

As DoninGA said, the tax credit is posted to your 1040 tax return.

• It is on line 19, and is calculated on schedule 8812.
• In addition, there is an additional Child Tax Credit on line 28, that is also posted to Schedule 8812.
