I filed my 2024 Federal and State tax returns. How come I did not get the child tax care credit? The box is checked for Credit for other dependents.

Child tax credit is not marked

How old are the children?  If they are older than 16, you lost the child tax credit and you get the $500 credit for other dependents instead.   Or---did you enter their Social Security numbers and say they were not valid for employment?   Or did you enter ITIN's instead of SSN's?

Make sure you have entered your child as a dependent in My Info, and that you have entered the child's Social Security number.    Careful— do not say that your child’s SSN is not valid for employment.  If your child was born in 2024 make sure you said he lived with you the whole year.  There is an oddly worded question that asks if the child paid over half their own support.  Say NO to that question.
