If your looking for additional child tax credits, consider day camp expenditures. Your child must be under 14, only day camps - no overnight stays allowed (sorry Boy and Girl Scout camps), and keep receipts and the EIN of the camp.
The IRS announced 1 billion in tax money received and no matching tax returns for 2013. I have filed as many as 9 years worth of back tax returns for 1 client at one time. April 17, 2017 is the last day to file a return for 2013 and still get your refund. If you don't file by that date, you lose all claims to the refund. I have all the software back to 2003, and forms from the various agencies prior to 2002. By the way, the client I filed the 9 years for, is the first one I get every year now!
