Help me understand the refundable portion of the child tax credit

[Gin1984]

I have only had a child during the time that 100% of the credit was refundable so I am unsure how to do the math with this current situation.  Can someone walk me through it?

I think (and therefore put this logic into the current case study spreadsheet) it will be
a) subtract up to $2000/child from the "tax due minus (up to $500/dependent-not-eligible-for-the-CTC)"
b) get a refund of up to $1400/child minus the amount used in "a".

What did you base that on?

This is correct from everything I have read on it as well.
