Hi,

I went to download my returns today after they were accepted by the IRS and I realized that my 4 & 6 year olds are marked as other dependents not for the child tax credit. If this something they IRS will notice on their own or would I need to file an amendment?

Im married filing jointly so there’s no other claim to them im just not sure how it happened.

You might have entered something incorrectly about the children in MY INFO. No idea if the IRS will correct it--you will have to wait to see what the IRS does. If they do not catch it, you can amend.

When you amend:

Make sure you have entered your child as a dependent in My Info, and that you have entered the child's Social Security number. Careful— do not say that your child’s SSN is not valid for employment. If your child was born in 2024 make sure you said he lived with you the whole year. There is an oddly worded question that asks if the child paid over half their own support. Say NO to that question.
