Both me and him have no idea with this stuff, I saw someone say he could've gotten 2k more, but 8k is still insane. So I couldn't say, he doesn't like to talk about his money unless he's complaining or asking for it. Is there anything they could've done to get him more?

Depends how well you do your taxes. I take the standard deduction and as such I don't see anything that they could do that would couldn't do myself with freetaxusa ($15). Sure having a kid opens up stuff like the child tax credit, the dependent care credit, and stuff like opening a dependent care FSA but that's stuff you'll get prompted on by a tax software once you say you have a kid
