The CTC is used to reduce tax liability. If you have none, then it can't be used. There is the ACTC, the additional child tax credit that can be used. Please look at your 1040 line 28 to see if you received that.

 

Lawmakers are in the process of changing these child tax credit laws that affect the taxes you are filing. Learn more here.
