Child Tax Credit - turbotax error

I have two children, 14 and 18, it is the same situation that I had last year. In 2019 I received 2500 as credit (2000 for the 13 year old and 500 for the 17 year old).  The situation is exactly the same this year, both are living with us and the older son is not working.  Our income is almost the same, we are filing jointly and income is well below $400000. I have used the interactive IRS worksheets to see that we qualify for the same amount as the last year (2500), but the turbotax is calculating only $1000 for both of them (500 for each, not sure where it's miscalculating the age of my younger son who is 14 year old).  I need to change the amount to 2500 amount in turbo tax, is there a way to do this? I have been turbotax for more than 10 years, but this is the first time I have this problem. Thanks
