Question

I went through the whole process of doing my taxes in here but it didn’t give me an option to sign up or qualify for the child tax credit. Why is is not showing?

If the child was born in 2023 then go back to the My Info section of the program.  Edit the dependent and for the time the child lived with you choose the Whole Year.  A child born during the year is deemed living with you for the whole year.

Click on My Info on the left side of the online program screen.

Yes, it says she has been living with me the whole year. She was born in 2023. It is still not showing up.

Have you entered any income on the tax return?  You must have at least $2,500 of earned income from work to be eligible for the child tax credit.
