Sorry----the child tax credit was changed for 2021. Before they changed it you would not have received any CTC for a child older than 16. They changed it to include kids who were under 18. So you got the new increased CTC in advance for a child who would not even have been eligible had the law not changed. You received the money ahead of time. You have to enter the amount that you received. The amount you can still get ---if any--- will be reconciled against the amount received.
