How much you "get" -- if anything -- for claiming your child will depend a lot on how much income you earned by working. The child-related credits are affected by the amount you earn.

Look at your 2018 tax return to see the child-related /dependent credits you received:

Child tax credit line 12a

Additional Child Tax Credit line 17b   (schedule 8812) 

Credit for Other Dependents line 12a

Earned Income Credit (EIC) line 17a

Child and Dependent Care Credit line 12     (comes from Schedule 3 Form 2441)


The dependents you listed are on the first page of your Form 1040 below your address.
