Question

Did not give me the proper child credit. Only gave 500 instead of the 2000. How do I fix?

If the child is age 17 or older in 2020 they are no longer eligible for the Child Tax Credit. They are eligible for the $500 Other Dependent tax credit.

Just to verify - If he turned 17 at any time in 2020, even if on 12/31/2020 he is not eligible for CTC.

Then you will need to check his date of birth in the My Info section of the program. Click on My Info on the left side of the screen and edit the dependent. Makes sure it is in the correct format MM/DD/YYYY

If the date of birth is correct, then delete him as a dependent and re-enter him as a dependent.
