How old are your children? If one is older than 16 you do not get the CTC for them--instead you get the $500 credit for other dependents. Or....is one a newborn? If so, you have to say in My Info that they lived with you for the whole year.

Look at your 2023 Form 1040 to see the child-related credits you received
