Question: how much child tax credit do you get for a couple and 4 children and a disabled child?

Answer: There are two levels of the child tax credit. First, if you owe taxes, those taxes are reduced up to $4,000 ($1,000 per child under 17, disabled has no effect on the credit).

Second, if you did not owe enough tax to use up the child tax credit, and you had income over $11,300, then you may get some Additional child tax credit. With three or more children, the Additional child tax credit is limited to the difference of the Earned Income Credit and the Social Security taxes you paid.
