In order to claim the Child Tax Credit, a child must be UNDER 17 years old. This means 16 years old or younger on the last day of the tax year. So since she turned 17 in 2024, she is not eligible to be claimed for the child tax credit.
Since she is 17, you would be able to claim the $500 Other Dependent Credit.
