was due 4774 in federal. I received 774. I qualified for every stimulus for my oldest but he was taken off by irs. Im not getting child tax credit for him either even though he is 17. It has been messed up ever since they took my tax return. I think they took back stimulus money for him but he was 16 whrn 1st 2 and 17 last so he did qualify for all. It was fine previously. I can't reach the irs... trying since March and never got a person. Im not sure what to do.

If the child was older than 16 in 2020 they would not be eligible for the Recovery Rebate Credit (stimulus payments EIP1 and EIP2) nor would they be eligible for the 2020 child tax credit nor the Advance Child Tax Credit being paid in 2021. They also would not be eligible for the Child Tax Credit on the 2021 tax return being filed next year since they would be age 18 in 2021.

They would be eligible for the third stimulus payment being distributed by the IRS in 2021. Go to this IRS website for information on the third stimulus payment - https://www.irs.gov/coronavirus/get-my-payment

They would be eligible for the Other Dependent tax credit of $500 on the 2020 tax return and on the 2021 tax return.
