Child/Dependent qualify

My son is full time student collage oversea. He does not live with us in 2021.

Does my son is qualify for the child tax credit or the credit for other dependents?

If he is under age 24 and did not provide more than half of his support he is your dependent and qualifies for other dependent tax credit. Time spent temporarily away at school counts as time living with you.

Thank you .

My son is under 24. but I support him more than half. Also, He did not come home last year.

So, my son does not qualifies for other dependent tax credit.

It doesn’t matter if he didn’t come home. You are still eligible for that credit.
