Deductions & credits

You may have answered a question in My Info incorrectly.   Or does the child not have a Social Security number?   If your child has an ITIN you only get the $500 credit.    If your child has a SSN make sure you did not say it is not valid for employment.  There is an oddly worded question that asks if the child paid for over half their support--say NO.
