Other dependent tax credit

[ctcowboy33]

My 21 year old son is a full time college student and makes no income. Why isn't turbo tax selecting the $500 credit?

When you entered him as a dependent did you indicate he lived with you for the Whole Year?  Did you indicate that he did NOT provide over one-half of his own support?

Go to My Info and carefully review your answers.

Yes. I went back and checked my answers. Claimed as a dependent. Lived with me for the whole year. Yes, I indicated that he does not provide over one half of his own support.

Then delete him as a dependent and re-enter.  If all the questions are answered correctly you should get the Other Dependent credit of $500.
