You need to go through the dependent interviews for both children. It sound like they are listed as dependents, but not as qualifying child dependents. Carefully answer those questions. Confirm their birthdates and SSNs are correct and entered into TurboTax. The questions are based on the Qualifying Child Requirements, which are below. More Info on the 5 Tests to Qualify a Child as a Dependent.
- They're related to you.
- They aren't claimed as a dependent by someone else.
- They're a US citizen, resident alien, national, or a Canadian or Mexican resident.
- They aren’t filing a joint return with their spouse.
- They're under the age of 19 (or 24 for full-time students).
- There's no age limit for permanently and totally disabled children.
- They lived with you for more than half the year (exceptions apply).
- They didn't provide more than half of their own support for the year.
