Delete her as a dependent and then re-enter

 

Make sure you indicate that she is your child, that she has lived in your home for the whole year, that she did NOT provide over one-half of her own support, that there was not another person in your household also providing support, that her date of birth was entered correctly and that you did NOT check the box labeled "not valid for employment" on the screen for her Social Security number.

Per the IRS, these are the qualifications for the child tax credit, you should go back through the program and make sure you answered the questions properly with these things in mind:
