Deductions & credits

@Jamie-conner   For a 16 year old child, the child tax credit is $3000. It sounds you received $1500 advanced child tax credit and Turbo Tax is giving you a credit for the remainder. If it shows, $1900, it means you may have another credit somewhere in your tax return for $400.

 

Go to tax tools>tools>view tax summary in the left pane of your page. Now select preview my 1040 and looks on lines 25-33 to see if there is a $400 credit listed in addition to your $1500 child tax credit. It may possibly be an earned income credit or some other deduction. Check this section also to see if the $1500 credit you are to receive is properly applied in line 28 of the 1040. Also, check to see if there is an entry in line 19 of the 1040.
