Why does Child Tax Credit takes me to Hurricanes and Wildfires eligibility and my daughter is a qualified dependent for this credit?

[EdwardK · Accepted solution]

The hurricane provision screens are related to both the Child Tax Credit and the Earned Income Credit (EIC or EITC) sections due to a special lookback provision for hurricane disaster victims. Thus, you should answer the questions and continue through the screens. TurboTax should help determine if you qualify for the Child Tax Credit based on the information you provide throughout your tax return(s). If you are using TurboTax Online and don't qualify for the Child Tax Credit, TurboTax should provide an explanation why. For an example, see attached screenshot. Please review the following link(s) and the link(s) embedded on the webpage(s) for more information:
