What? If you qualified for the child tax credit, it would have been added automatically to your refund when you entered your child as a dependent and entered the income you earned from working. So what are you trying to do? If your child was 17 or older at the end of 2019 you do not get the child tax credit, or if your child does not have a Social Security number you do not get the child tax credit. If your child is 17 or older, or if the child has an ITIN, then you get the $500 credit for other dependents.
Did you prepare your tax return without including your dependent at all? What information about your dependent did you enter when you filed your original tax return?
