I claim my son every year. he was a full time high school student and did not work. When I claimed him this year I did not get the dependent deduction. No one else claims him and I supported him 100% for 2019. I claimed my daughter the same way and got her as a dependent. Why the difference?

You may have answered a question incorrectly.  Delete him as a dependent and then re-enter him again.

 

Note that if he is age 17 or older in 2019 he is no longer eligible for the Child Tax Credit.  But is eligible for the Other Dependent tax credit.
