Deductions & credits

Do you mean that TurboTax is allowing you to claim your child as a dependent?

 

You won't be able to get the Child Tax Credit for your 17 year-old child. Children that are older than 16 at the end of 2024, don't qualify you to get the CTC, but you may still be eligible to get the   $500 non-refundable credit for Other Dependents instead.
