Due to the tax changes for 2018, the requirements for the child tax credit changed. Please see below for more information.

AGI is under $200k. This is a baby, a US Citizen, born in July 2018. Lived in household entire year, received 100% support from household. Has a social security number. Is there anyway to override how TurboTax is calculating this, because it is calculating it incorrectly, although all of this personal information was entered.

I figured it out. When entering how long the child lived with you, you must say THE WHOLE YEAR, even if they were not born on Jan 1.
