    Do you mean the child tax credit?   Look on line 19 of your Form 1040 to see if it is there.    If it is not there and you claimed a dependent child under the age of 17, see below:

     

    Make sure you have entered your child as a dependent in My Info, and that you have entered the child's Social Security number.    Careful— do not say that your child’s SSN is not valid for employment.  If your child was born in 2024 make sure you said he lived with you the whole year.  There is an oddly worded question that asks if the child paid over half their own support.  Say NO to that question.

     

    Have you entered income from working in 2024?  If not,  you will not receive an income tax refund based on having dependent children.

     

      The maximum amount of the child tax credit is now $2000 per child; the refundable “additional child tax credit” amount is $1700.   In order to get that credit, you have to have income from working.  The credit is calculated based on the amount you earned above $2500 multiplied by 15%, up to the full $1700 per child. If the amount you earned was too low, you will not get the full $1700.

     

     If your child is older than 16 at the end of 2024, you do not get the CTC.  But you may still get the non-refundable $500 credit for other dependents instead.

    Which credit?   The Child Tax Credit?   Check 1040 lines 19 and 28 for the Child Tax Credit.
