How do I see what I made separately from what I got from my son

The amounts on lines 19 (Child tax credit) and 28 additional child tax credit), on form 1040, are attributable to claiming your son as a dependent.  Most (but not all) of the amount on line 27 (EIC - Earned income credit) is because of the dependent.  To see how much your EIC would have been without the child, see the EIC table at

For example, at $15,000 of earned income, the EIC for no kids is $273, for one kid it's $4213. So, the kid got you $3940 of EIC (in addition to the child tax credit and the additional child tax credit).
