Greetings @dawnlynne44!
@tsmeadow I definitely agree. @dawnlynne44 will want to review her return and amend if necessary if her daughter is considered a qualifying child for purposes of the child tax credit.
- must live with you for more than half of the tax year,
- can not provide over half of her own support for the calendar year,
- must not file a joint return for the tax year.
- must be either your child, stepchild, eligible foster child, sibling, grandchild, niece, or nephew.
- must be a U.S. citizen, permanent resident or other qualifying resident alien.
- must be under the age of 17 at the end of the year for the tax return on which the IRS bases the payment.
- must have an SSN valid for employment or an adoption taxpayer identification number (ATIN). Note that a child who has an ITIN is not a qualifying child for this payment.
If those were met AND you are eligible as a taxpayer; you will need to apply for the Recovery Rebate Credit when you file your 2020 tax return or amend if you already filed. Please note the same qualifiers are for the Child Tax Credit as well. Additionally, you should be able to claim Head of Household if you have a qualifying dependent.
Feel free to contact TurboTax if you need further assistance.
