I have a 19 year old son who is a full-time student, and I provide more than half of his support; he lives at home. He earned $10,000 at a job during 2024. It would seem he qualifies as a qualifying child and not a qualifying relative, correct? The confusion for me lies on Schedule 8812. Since my son is over 17 years of age he must be included on line 6 on that schedule, correct. So he would be considered a qualifying relative and not a dependent child, and I would complete the appropriate line. So then, which box must I check on my Form 1040. child tax credit box or credit for other dependents box?
