Hello,

I am struggling with form 8812 and I am hoping someone can tell me what I am doing wrong.

My husband and I are filing jointly. We have one qualified child (a two-year-old), and no other dependents.

That means I would put:

4a: 1

4b: 1

4c: 0

Do you all agree? Cause this then prompts me to put zeros for like everything and then go to Part 3 (additional tax). Once I fill this out, it wants me to refund all the money I received as "advance child tax credits." 

I do not think this is right. I received $1,500 in advance payments (between my husband and I). The Form 8812 instructions say I should receive $3,600 for a kid under the age of six. I should be expecting an additional child tax credit of $2,100. Not to be paying back the advance payment they gave me.

Thank you!
