Hi there, head of household, 71k, two dependents. It says I was rewarded the 4000 but it is not added to the rest of my refund amount.Can anyone explain why this is happening. I’m confused? Thank you!

First the CTC on line 19 of your Form 1040 is used to pay your tax liability -- if It is down to zero, then the remaining amount of "additional child tax credit" of up to $1700 per child can go down to line 28 as a refundable amount. If you do not see much on line 28, the CTC was used to keep you from owing a big tax bill.

Look at your 2024 Form 1040 to see the child-related credits you received
