If you have no tax liability, you won%26#039;t get the child tax credit. The child tax credit is a nonrefundable credit that can reduce your tax liability, but cannot drop your tax below zero and generate a refund. If you have 3 child or more that qualifies for the child tax credit, then you can get an additional child tax credit that is refundable. The additional child tax credit is the amount of the child tax credit that you would be eligible for ($1,000 per child X the number of children you have, must be 3 or more) less the amount of child tax credit that you actually used.
