After you file

If you already e-filed you will have to wait until the return has been fully processed and amend if you need to change something about a dependent you claimed.   However----the tax laws for the Child Tax Credit changed for 2022.  If your child was older than 16 at the end of 2022 you cannot get the CTC.  Instead you get the $500 credit for other dependents.  If you have a child who was born in 2022 you have to say the child lived with you for the whole year.
