Turbo Tax is not recognizing my dependents for the Child Tax Credit. Why is that? I am MFJ with less than 400K AGI.

Review each of your dependents to make sure you entered the information correctly. In particular, that they didn't provide over 50% of their support, that they were under age 17 at the end of the year, and that they lived with you for more than half the year.

Preview your form 1040 to see if the amount are listed. The Child Tax Credit is on line 19 and the Additional Child Tax Credit is on line 28.

If a child was born in 2020, indicate that he/she lived with you all year (which is okay for newborns).
