Your child is too old (over 16). This comes
as a big surprise to many parents the year their child turns 17. A child over age 16
no longer qualifies for the Child Tax credit (CTC). Although a child can
still be a student dependent through age 23, and a qualifying child for
EIC, the Child Tax Credit expires the
year they turn 17 and you no longer get the $1000 CTC.
