Deductions & credits

Oh wow.  Is that checkbox something new this year?  Because I was able to get the $2000 per child last year and  I didn't touch that check box this year.  It was checked by default.

Intuit should definitely look into that and change that to uncheck by default because I have never had this problem with Turbo Tax for several years until filing this year.

It was driving me nuts with the same issue this year with it all of a sudden being $500 per child when I used to get $2000 each.
At first, I thought it had something to do with our income (AGI) which lowered from $90k to $50k last year due to unemployment for part of the year.
