I don’t qualify for child tax credit- how do you remove it

Son is 19 and is giving me a 500.00 credit

Is your son a full-time student? You can claim the $500 credit for children under age 24 who are full-time students. There is no age limit for permanently and totally disabled children).

If your son is not eligible, check whether you listed him as a full-time student in TurboTax.

1. Tap My Info
2. Edit your son's info
3. The full-time student box should be No. If not, change it.

For more info see What is the $500 Credit for Other Dependents (“Family Tax Credit”)?

$500 is not the Child Tax Credit.  500 is the credit for other dependents.   If he is 19 and a full time student you can claim him if he had less than 4,300 total income.
