Hi, Ive entered most of my tax return info. It says I am eligible for CTC for my 3 children but in the overall tax return it is not being applied to the number at the top. What is happening?

    How do you know it is not being applied? 

    Have you entered your income documents, such as your W-2?

    You may need to complete the Deductions & Credit interview. 

     

    Please check your 1040 line 19 for the Child Tax Credit.

    If the Child Tax Credit is limited because of no tax liability to apply it to, the amount will be reported as "Additional child tax credit" and be on line 28. 

     

    Here is a link to view your 1040
