Our son turned 18 in March 2024 but still lives at home full time without work for baseball training. Can we claim him as a child tax credit or other dependent and how to do that.

To be eligible for the child tax credit they must be under the age of 17 during the tax year.  Since he is age 18 he is not eligible for the child tax credit on a 2024 tax return but he is eligible for the Other Dependent Credit of $500.
