EIC and Child Tax Credit: Expected refund for $30k income with 3 dependents?

Filed my taxes with $30k income and three kids (teens and young child). Anyone know roughly what I should expect back? First time filing with this situation and want to make sure I'm not getting shortchanged.

With 3 qualifying children and 30k income, you likely qualify for max EIC around $7,430 and Child Tax Credit could be around $6,000 ($2000 per child). Plus any tax withholding you had during the year. But without seeing your actual transcript its hard to give exact numbers.

Hey! The best way to actually understand your potential refund is with taxr.ai - its only $4.99 but it analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly what to expect. Way better than guessing or getting random advice. Check it out at https://taxr.ai

Make sure whoever does ur taxes knows about Head of Household status too, that'll bump up ur refund if u qualify
