It could be due to many reasons. 

 

If you are referring to the Child Tax Credit, your son has to be under 17 at the end of 2019.  If he did not qualify, you will not get the credit.  To see requirements, click here:

For Credit for Other Dependents, if he does not meet either Qualifying Child or Qualifying Relative rules, you will not get this credit either.  To double-check, click here: Credit for Other Dependents
