We cannot see your return. Did you enter her as a dependent and say in My Info that she was a full-time student? What do you see on line 19 of your Form 1040?

Look at your 2023 Form 1040 to see the child-related credits you received

The "Credit for "other" dependents is non-refundable. That is, it can only be used to reduce your tax liability. You do not automatically get $500. If line 18 of your 1040 is already 0, you do not get any of that credit.
