How much tax refund for $20k income with 2 dependents? Need estimate!

I earned $20,000 last year with 2 dependents. Looking for a rough estimate of what my tax refund might be. Anyone in a similar situation or know what credits I might qualify for?

Ingrid Larsson

With 2 dependents and that income level, you'll likely qualify for Earned Income Credit (EIC) and Child Tax Credit. Each dependent could get you up to $2000 in Child Tax Credit if they qualify. The EIC could be around $5,000+ for your income level with 2 kids. But don't quote me on exact numbers - there's other factors that could affect this.
