Turbotax is calculating line 5 incorrectly for 2021 returns, children under the age of 6 are getting $3000 each while kids over 6 are getting $3600, it's backwards.
I have 1 dependent over 6 and 2 under so the calculation should be 10,200 (3600x2+3000). Turbotax calculated 9600 which could only have happened by swapping those amounts (3000x2+3600). I tried to amend but can't override their incorrect logic. How do I proceed?
Go back to Personal Info and check the birthdates of the children. Looks like one of the children that is under 6 has the wrong date.
For tax year 2021, the Child Tax Credit increased from $2,000 per qualifying child to: $3,600 for children ages 5 and under at the end of 2021; and. $3,000 for children ages 6 through 17 at the end of 2021.
