Look at line 28 for $500 in your 1040.

For tax year 2022 a child who is age 17 or older is not eligible for the Child Tax Credit.  They are only eligible for the Other Dependent credit of $500.

 

Look at your tax return in the dependent section on page 1 of the Form 1040 shows if the dependent is eligible for the CTC or ODC.

The child tax credit rules for 2021 tax returns were unique to tax year 2021; you could receive the CTC even if you did not have any income earned from working. And a child could be 17 (under 18).

 

That will not be the case for tax year 2022. For tax year 2022, the rules revert back to the requirement to have income earned from working in order to receive the refundable part of the CTC. If you do not have at least $2500 of income from working you will not get the CTC or the additional child tax credit. And the age cutoff went back to under 17 (not 18).
