Deductions & credits

The link you provided, along with other articles from IRS states that the child has to be "under" 24 years of age at the end of the tax year. In other words, if the child turns 24 at any time during 2022 (as my son did), he is no longer eligible to be a dependent. This is a serious bug in Turbotax. 

I am not concerned about the tax credit...the problem is that if I follow Turbotax's path, I will pay tax as "head of household" as opposed to "single". This will come back and bite me.
