My son turned 19 in April 2020 was a full time student in high school and graduated in May June somewhere through there. Ok I always use the turbo tax estimate tax calculator and it has been right every year even this year my sisters,fiance and others that I checked was right on it except mine the amount it gave me on the calculator was 9 000 and something last year was 8000 something refund. Ok I filed my taxes with a loan company and told me that I get like right at 6000 my state I always get all of it bk like everyone else and last year I did 800 and something this year it was 800 and something and I only get 400 of it....I hope your understanding me lol. But anyways should my 19 yo be claimed as a dependant or whatever and then I had 1 child that gets the child tax credit. Everything was basically the same on 2019 and 2020 tax papers that they gave me but I. Not understanding why that big of a difference u can check ur self I made 21,000.00 >>>fed 1800>>>state 865.00>>>>1 dependant for child tax credit >>>>then my 19 years dob is April thats when he will turn 20 this year>>>401k contribution >>>>>didn't have any child care or anything like that. Can someone please help me understand this because that is a big big difference with everything the same but its like she didn't even put him on it or so something. I know something isn't right can someone help me to understand and tell me what I need to do so I can get someone else to check it TIA
