On Turbo Tax, there is a check box which asks "Is the Child SSN valid for employment?" I was answering No where as one should answer "Yes". This question does not mean if the child can start earning, it just asks if any restrictions on SSN. If your child is not a US Citizen then it might have restrictions. Once you check the box, it will only qualify your child for $500. If not checked it will qualify for full amount.
