We can't see your return, but I would suggest reviewing all the answers input to ensure they are correctly answered.
To qualify for the Child Tax Credit, your child must fit all of these requirements:
-
Be under age 17 at the end of the tax year
-
Is your son, daughter, stepchild, foster child, adopted child, brother, sister, stepbrother, stepsister, half-brother, half-sister, or a descendant of any of them (for example, a grandchild, niece, or nephew)
-
Has his or her own Social Security Number
-
Lived with you for more than half the year
-
Didn't support him/herself (i.e., didn't pay more than half their own expenses)
-
Is a U.S. citizen, U.S. national, or U.S. resident alien
Additionally, you must have tax liability for the credit to be applied to. If you do not, you may qualify for the Additional Child Tax Credit.
