Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Before you start the entire return over, start with just deleting the dependent and re-adding them.   Does the child have an SSN entered?   Make sure that the relationship is correct, that you have selected lived with the whole year, double-check the birthday entered, and make sure the child is showing up on your Form 1040 as a dependent.   Look in box (4) of the dependents section.....Is there a checkmark for ''Child Tax Credit'' or ''Credit for other deps''?
