I have a 16 and 17 y’all to claim on my taxes why did I only receive a $2500 child credit shouldn’t it have been $4000

The Child Tax Credit for 2019 is worth up to $2,000 per child that is under the age of 17 (that is, 16 or less) on 12/31/2019).

Dependents who can’t be claimed for the Child Tax Credit may still qualify you for the Credit for Other Dependents. This is a non-refundable tax credit of up to $500 per qualifying person
