Why am I receiving child tax credit my child is grown

[keithbarlow1]

TurboTax is showing that I qualify for $500 child tax credit. My youngest child is 26. Why am I getting this?

You should not be getting child tax credit. You should be getting $500 for other dependent credit. Please review your return.

If you are getting the $500 credit for other dependents that means you claimed your 26 year old son as a qualifying relative dependent.   Did you mean to claim him?   Did he have over $4350 of income himself in 2021--not counting Social Security?

The new (2018) tax law eliminated the old dependent exemption ($4300 deduction) and replaced it with a $500 "other dependent credit"  for dependents that were not children.
