You can still claim him as a dependent and get the dependent exemption for him, but the moment that he turned 17 he no longer qualifies for the child tax credit, but that is a totally different thing than claiming him as a dependent.

Did you mean he turned 17 in July 2016 last year? Otherwise you should have gotten the Child Tax Credit on your 2015 return either.

Still have questions?
