Will my refund include the remaining child tax credits payments?

My refund amount is not reflecting the child tax credits payments, is that separate?

Yes, if you qualify, and have entered the amount of advance Child Tax Credit that you received the remainder should be on your tax return. 

You can check to see if the credit is on your tax return. If you purchased a downloaded copy of TurboTax:

1. You can click on Forms toward the upper right corner. 
2. Highlight 1040 on the left and scroll down to line 28. That is the amount of your Child Tax Credit.

If you are working online:

1. Select Tax Tools at the bottom of the left side menu.
2. Select Tools.
3. Select View Tax Summary.
4. Select Preview Tax Return.
5. Scroll down and find line 28.

Thank you,  my refund amount is less than the credit.  It does say it on my 1040 form but it says my total refund is less than the credit by itself.

So some of the credit went towards an actual tax liability. You must not have had enough tax withheld to cover income completely. No need to with kids and the credit. It just means you don't get it all, instead it is going toward your tax bill.
