Question

If my child was 17 in 2023 wasn’t I supposed to for the child credit instead of her being a dependent. I don’t believe I got the child credit for my youngest child.

You lose the child tax credit when the child turns 17 and instead you get the $500 credit for other dependents for the child. If you entered income from working you should have CTC for the younger child.
