For 2022, a child must be under the age of 17 to qualify for the Child Tax Credit.  This means your 17 year old child would not qualify for the Child Tax Credit but may qualify for the Other Dependent Credit which is $500.

 

The limit for the Child Tax Credit is $200,000, not $49,000.  

 

Did you maybe get the Child Tax Credit and not the Earned Income Tax Credit?

 

Look at line 19 of your 1040 to see if you did get the Child Tax Credit and how much you received.  

 

If you are talking about Earned Income Credit you can look at line 27 of your return.  

 

You can see this using TurboTax  Online by logging into your return then clicking the following:
