Do I qualify for the child tax credit?

I made 20000 last year, do I qualify for receiving the child tax credit? How does that work? I have one child and do qualify for the EIC. Oh,and on the 1040 line 46, do i write what%26#039;s on line 43 if i don%26#039;t have anything on 44 and 45? Any free tax advice would be nice

Do I qualify for the child tax credit?

On Form 1040 for 2006, Line 46 is the tax you owe. If there is nothing on Line 44 or 45, then there is a zero on Line 46. But Line 44 should be zero if you owe no tax, don%26#039;t leave it blank.

From your information, you owe no tax if Line 44 is zero. Therefore you have no Child Tax Credit since it is a credit that reduces your tax. But compute the Additional Child Tax Credit, Line 68, using Form 8812, and you may be pleasantly surprised.

Form 8812:
