You have to enter the dependent in the My Info section of the program.  The child must have either a Social Security number or an ITIN issued by the IRS.  The child must be a US citizen or resident of the US, Canada or Mexico.

Yes, you add the Other Dependent Credit by entering the information about that dependent in your tax return.

 

Here's how to do that in TurboTax Online:

 

 

  1. Sign in to your TurboTax account.
  2. Select My Info, then Review.
  3. On the screen Personal profile, select Add another dependent. 
  4. Select My Child, or Another Person, then Continue.
  5. Fill in the details about the person. 
  6. Carefully answer all of the follow up questions. 
  7. After you have answered all of the questions you will get to a screen that explains your results.

I see that my child who is non US citizen but resides with me in US since 2021 is being flagged as “Not a Dependent this year”.

 

In this case how do I get the benefit of The Credit of Other Dependent.

 

Please advise.

Review your answers in the dependent section. Something must be marked wrong. Otherwise it should tell why they aren't qualified as a dependent.
