Without looking at your return it is impossible to know why you are getting back $800.There are many reasons that your refund could be less than what you expected, such as: You did not qualified for the full amount of the Child Tax Credit. If you don't have any Tax liability you will only receive the additional Child Tax Credit. You changed your Filing Status. You didn't qualify for the Earned Income credit. When you qualify, the credit amount will go up as you earn more income, but once you earn too much, it will go down eventually to zero. TurboTax will figure out exactly how much you’ll receive.
