Form 1040-Individual: Line 19 amount incorrect using SureFire

---

The amount of Child Tax Credit on line 19 is limited by the amount of tax owed, shown on line 16.

 

As the Child Tax Credit is not refundable, when the amount on line 16 is zero, there is no credit to be entered on line 19.

 

Certain clients may qualify to receive the difference in the form of the Additional Child Tax Credit, which is calculated on Form 8812.

 

For more information, see IRS Publication 972 (http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p972.pdf).
