Please be aware that your child need a Social Security Number (SSN) to qualify for the Child Tax Credit. But if your child has an ITIN you might qualify for the $500 Other Dependent Credit.

Please see What is the Child Tax Credit? and What is the $500 Credit for Other Dependents (“Family Tax Credit”)? for additional information.

TurboTax has no way to know that - the expired message can only come form the IRS. Perhaps the IRS database has not been updated yet.
