Correct with 17 or older but for kids under 17, the language in the TT instructions were poorly worded which may have caused people to incorrectly choose the wrong answer when asked if their child lived with them the whole year. If someone had a child born in 2019 and selected any answer besides the whole year, it automatically checked off the Other dependents box instead of Child Tax Credit. If isomeone checked off the former, they did not receive the $500. Again, they way that question was worded in TT was confusing, especially for those with children born in 2019. That question really asks if the child lived with someone else but most people took it as "well if my kid was born in September, then they only lived with me for three months" and then they selected 3 months resulting in the Other dependents box being checked when they should have selected the whole year. Selecting the whole year would have resulted in the Child Tax Credit box checked off and we would have got the $500.
