Sorry, but Critter is correct.....There are a ton of Separated or Divorced couples with a child that they alternate years on.....as such, you could have been the divorced Dad who had the child and got 6 mos of child tax credits during 2021 because the child was on his 2020 tax return, but isn't claiming a child now on the 2021 tax return. Or the other way around
Ther just is no way to for the software to know that for sure....so it all gets jumbled up nutso with no way to deal with it cleanly.
