Question

Child Tax Credit

It is saying my son doesn't qualify for the child credit and only qualifies for the $500 credit for other dependent. Why is this?

Employee

One possibility is that his age must have been 16 or under as of December 31, 2022, in order for him to qualify.

If he was born in 2022, be sure to indicate in the TT program that he lived with you all year.

If he is age 17 or older in 2022 then he no longer qualifies for the Child Tax Credit. He is eligible for the Other Dependent credit of $500.
