Yes, that's exactly the case.
If you file as a single person, and you make over $75K, you get nothing back.
If you are married and file jointly, and you make over $150K between the two of you, you get nothing back.
Otherwise, the single person gets $600 and the married couple gets $1200.
So if I were on my own as a single dude, I'd be in the same boat as you. But luckily the wife's lame ass salary keeps us below the $150K mark as a couple.
Each kid gives you another $300 as well. I knew they were good for somethin!
