Deductions & credits

You say 17 year old.  If he had reached 17 by 12-31-19, he is no longer eligible for the child tax credit or additional child tax credit.  What you get now is the (up to) $500 "Other dependent credit".  There are no additional forms to fill out for that.  If he qualifies as a dependent, TT automatically gives you the credit on line 13a of form 1040.
