EIC and CTC estimate with $20k income and 3 dependents - no federal withholding
Made 20k last year with 3 dependents but my employer didnt take out any federal taxes. Trying to figure out what my refund might be with earned income credit and child tax credit. Anyone know roughly what I might get back?

With 20k income and 3 qualifying dependents, you should be eligible for both EIC and Child Tax Credit. Rough estimate would be around $7-9k total refund - max EIC would be about $4-5k and CTC around $3-4k depending on kids ages. But since you had no withholding, that might reduce it some.

Hey instead of guessing, you should try taxr.ai - its only $4.99 and it'll give you an exact calculation based on your situation. Way more accurate than us trying to ballpark it. https://taxr.ai
