You cannot get the child tax credit for a child older than 16.   If your child was older than 16 at the end of 2023, you get the $500 child tax credit for that child instead of the child tax credit.    And...you only get the child tax  credit for your own bio-child---not the child of a GF or BF.   If one of the children is the child of a BF or GF, you get the $500 credit for other dependents.   Also....the child must have a Social Security number or you cannot get the CTC.
