Second Child Tax Credit

cdocean79 · ‎February 18, 2026

I have two dependents...the second was born in Aug 2025. The first dependents child tax credit is appearing...no issues. The second dependent is not appearing as a tax credit. All of the information is correct. On the worksheet the number of months is zero when it should be 4. What am I missing?

If the child was born in 2025 you need to say he lived with you the WHOLE year. Go back to MY INFO and change the answer for how long he lived with you. You must choose whole year for a newborn to get the CTC.
