The credit is based on the amount of tax that you owe. If the credit exceeds your tax liability, you may be getting the Additional Child tax credit.

• For 2024, 2023 and earlier tax years, the Child Tax Credit is nonrefundable; 
  • If your credit exceeds your tax liability, 
  • your tax bill is reduced to zero, and 
  • any remaining unused credit is lost. 
• However, you may be able to claim a refundable Additional Child Tax Credit for the unused balance.
• Up to $1,600 per qualifying child in 2024 and 2023 is refundable with the Additional Child Tax Credit.
