Im in the process of doing my taxes for 2023. My total income for the year was around 12,000. I claim 3 dependents because I have 3 kids. Why is it saying I'm only getting $509 for the child tax credit for all 3 and not the full amount per child? My kids are all under 5 y/o.

Was that total income of $12,000 all earned from working?   Or did some of it come from a different source?   The refundable child tax credit is based on how much you earned by working.  Provide some details so we can help
