Get your taxes done using TurboTax

@xmasbaby0 Our AGI was well below the threshold for a reduced Child Tax Credit, so I am confident we did not earn too much to qualify for the credit.

 

The only other possible explanation for us not qualifying is because we claimed the foreign earned income tax exemption for the salaries we earned from September through December of 2021 on our 2021 Tax Return. However, all three of us resided in the United States for 7.5 months in 2021, and 6 months is the threshold for the Child Tax Credit. 

 

Regardless, Line 28 on our 1040 is blank, even though there is a check in Dependents (box 4) on the line with our son's name and information. The 1040 was completed using the TurboTax software. As best I can tell we qualify for this credit and it was not part of our 1040 return. If so, what are my next steps on getting this resolved? 

 

Again, thank you so much for your help and insight!
