Form 1040 from last year shows my daughter did not qualify for the child tax credit, only the “other dependents” credit. Why is that? We meet all requirements.

I am on a 10-99 with an income that meets the requirements for the child tax credit. My daughter is 2 years old, has an SSN, was not claimed by her other parent, and I still did not qualify for the child tax credit.

Was your child born in 2021?   When you prepared your 2021 return did you say that she lived with you the WHOLE year?  Did you enter her Social Security number?   If she was born in 2021 it is important to say she lived with you the whole year.   You can amend your 2021 return to get the child tax credit.

 

See this TurboTax support FAQ for amending a tax return - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-return/amend-change-correct-return-a...

 

 

You also mention something about ".....was not claimed by her other parent."   Provide some details....are you sure about that?   Are you and the other parent living together with the child?  Did both of you put information about her on your tax returns?
