Get your taxes done using TurboTax
I'm assuming you made a typo with the date of birth in 2015 and said your son is a high school student. If your son's date of birth was 1/26/05, he fails to qualify for the Child Tax Credit ($2,000 per eligible child in 2022) because he was 17 or over as of 12/31/22. He does still qualify for the Other Dependent Credit ($500 for 2022) if the following applies:
- They are your biological child, stepchild, adopted child, eligible foster child, sibling or half-sibling, stepsibling, or an offspring of any of these
- They haven’t already been claimed for the Child Tax Credit or Credit for Other Dependents, either by you or by anyone else
- They have an Social Security number (SSN), ITIN, or adoption taxpayer identification number (ATIN) issued on or before the due date of your return (including extensions)
- They are a US citizen, US resident alien, or US national
- They aren’t filing a joint return with their spouse
- They are under the age of 19 (24 for full-time students; no age limit for permanently and totally disabled children)
- They live with you for more than half the year (exceptions apply)
- They didn't provide more than half of their own support for the year
