How do you check the dependent under 18 box on your federal taxes?

There is no dependent under age 18 box.

Box 6c(4) is a checkbox if the child is under 17 and qualifies you for a child tax credit.

When you fill out the dependent info, Turbo Tax correctly calculates the age and checks that box if applicable.
