The Child Tax Credit for tax year 2022 is only for a child under the age of 17.  You can claim your son as a dependent and be eligible for the Other Dependent credit of $500.

The child tax credit in 2022 is only for children under the age of 17. Your son would not qualify since he was not under 17. He would still qualify for a $500 other dependent credit.
