Why am I only getting one child tax credit if I'm claiming two underage children?

What do you mean by "underage?" If one of the children turned 17 before the end of 2020 you do not get the child tax credit for that child. You lose the CTC in the year that the child turns 17---which often comes as a surprise to parents.
