We have $27,140.00 child tax credit, yet we are only receiving a $6560 total refund. Are we able to receive more from the tax credit this year (larger refund amount)?

There's no way you can have a Child Tax Credit that large. The maximum is $1000 per child. Do you have 27 children?

You may be seeing other types of "Tax Breaks," such as the $4,050 Personal Exemptions, or the Standard Deduction. These are subtractions from income, before the taxes are calculated. They are not tax credits or refunds.

Also, I see you are asking from TT self-employed. Be sure to enter all of your SE income and expenses.
