Unfortunately, he is not going to qualify you for the Child Tax Credit in 2020 or 2021. Qualifying children have to be 16 or younger as of Dec 31. Tax-year 2019 was the last year he qualified for the higher Child Tax Credit. Since he was 17 at the end of 2020, he only qualifies you for the $500 Other Dependent Credit. However, you will receive the $1400 stimulus payment for him. The first and second rounds of checks did not include payments for children 17 and over. The 3rd round does include these older dependents. @Reareahar
