My ex claimed my 18 year old son this year. Do I still qualify for the Additional Child Tax Credit?

Nobody gets the additional child tax credit for an 18 year old. You lose the CTC when they turn 17. All you get for claiming a child over the age of 16 is the $500 credit for other dependents.

CREDIT FOR OTHER DEPENDENTS
