Deductions & credits
Yes, that’s it. A dependent age 17 or older is not eligible, due to the (possibly hasty) way that Congress defined eligibility. You dropped one dependent from eligibility and added another; since the credit is based on the number of eligible dependents rather than their identity, and there is no change in the number of dependents, you aren’t eligible for an additional amount.
