Income $37K + 3 kids under 17 - What's my estimated tax refund?

Filed my taxes for this year. Made about 37k with 2500 federal witholding and have 3 kids all under 17. Just trying to figure out what im looking at for my refund amount. Anyone knowledgeable able to give me a rough estimate?

Jamal Thompson

With your income level and 3 qualifying children, you should be eligible for both Child Tax Credit ($2000 per child) and Earned Income Credit. Rough estimate would be around $10-12k total refund depending on your filing status and other deductions.

Yep! The credits for kids are substantial especially at your income level. Just make sure you have all their SSNs and documentation ready.
