If you were not allowed the maximum basic Child Tax Credit per qualifying child, you may be eligible for an Additional Child Tax Credit. The amount of the maximum Child Tax Credit can be found in Publication 972.
This credit may be available to you if you have three or more qualifying children or if you have earned income that exceeds the base amount for the year. The base amount of earned income needed can be found in the Instructions for Form 8812. The Additional Child Tax Credit may give you a refund even if you do not owe any tax.
Form 8812 and Publication 972 are available for download, or you may request a copy by calling 1-800-829-3676.
