Deductions & credits
There is no error. If your child was older than 17 at the end of 2021 then you only get the $500 credit for other dependents for the child. Or if you did not enter a Social Security number for the child you only get the $500 credit.
If you are getting the child tax credit it will be on line 28 of your Form 1040.
Or did you enter the information for your child incorrectly?
Make sure you have entered your child as a dependent in My Info, and that you have entered the child's Social Security number. If your child was born in 2021make sure you said he lived with you the whole year. There is an oddly worded question that asks if the child paid over half their own support. Say NO to that question.
