Why was it a mistake to claim your 17 year old? Are you not the custodial parent? What is the situation that makes it a mistake?
No one gets the child tax credit for a child who was 17 at the end of 2023, but you still get the $500 credit for other dependents instead.
You can get EIC for a qualified dependent child up to age 19, or even 23 if they are a full-time student.
