After you file

Which box is checked at the top of 1040 for your child?  If the Child Tax Credit box isn't checked you answered something wrong.  Try deleting the baby and re enter him under My Info.

 

Be sure you said the new baby lived with you the WHOLE YEAR!  Go back and check that.

 

If you had a child born in 2021- Add them under My Info. You need to answer 2 questions…..

Did your child live with you for the whole year? Answer YES even if they were born late in the year (even on Dec 31).

 

Then was at least half of child's expenses paid by CHILD? Usually is NO.
