According to TurboTax, my child qualifies as my dependent. Him and I meet all the criteria for the Child Tax Credit, yet TT says he isn't qualified. Makes no sense. Help.
He is under 17, he is my son, he has lived with me more than half the year, he is a US citizen, his mom and I have a written legal agreement that I can claim him this year, I make less than the income limit, he has not paid for his own living expenses and I am filing head of household. Why would TT say he qualifies as my dependent in one section, then say "It turns out you don't qualify for these credits" in the actual Child Tax Credit deduction section? According to TT, he doesn't qualify: "Because he had another disqualifying situation, (he) doesn't count for the Child Tax Credit." I have no idea why, help?
