The maximum amount is $60 for a family with four expemptions or more. I think $20 if there is just one expemption. You have to file a return to claim the refund, regardless of your income.

I fear that we'll be paying for that one, and in more ways than one, for our entire lifetime.

You are correct and it's $40 for 2 exemptions, $50 for 3 and $60 for 4 or more.
