The most I got was back in 2007 I got state and fed together was around 6K. This year I havent did mine yet. My xhubby is going to carry our kid but he ALWAYS has to pay into AR since he lives here but don't work here. Last year he worked here for 3months and still had to pay in 400 and something. But he will only get 1K for our kid if that...you have to make a certain amount to get it.
