Child tax credit in Turbotax limited to under 17, IRS 1040 directions say under 19

I noticed Turbo tax limited my 17 year old son to the $500 dependent tax credit rather than the $2000 child tax credit.  The IRS directions indicate children under 19 meet the requirements for the child tax credit. Which is right? (seems like the IRS and Turbotax has a problem)
