Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Yup -  I get it - you should see $1,000 on Line 30 of Form 1040; something is missing somewhere. 

 

The two most frequent errors: 

 

1) social security number missing - check all three children

2) on the box that asks how long the child has lived with you, be sure to pick 'the whole year' for the newborn. 

 

Also, check the birthyears for all three children.... any chance you typed '2000' instead of '2020' for the newborn? that would deny the extra $500 because TT would think the child was 20!

 

all three children are living with you, right? (if they are not living with you for at least 6 months, you won't get the $500)

 

are you using the online or desktop version?
