Child Tax Credit Bug in 2019 Turbotax

[Dale Lynn]

Turbotax is giving me a child tax credit when my youngest child turned 17 in Nov 2018.  Is this a bug?  If so, when will it be fixed?

Your child would have been younger than 17 most of the year. This would qualify you for the CTC from what I’ve read. Although I do see some sites saying you have to be younger at the end of the year. I think those sites are incorrect. The actual irs website says it can be prorated if they turn 17 during the year. Hope that helps.

Actually, I don't think it is a bug, turbo tax just does not explain it well.  There is another $500 tax credit per child for children from 17-24 that are still dependents, but turbo tax just does not mention them.  Since I have 4 children in that range, I get a $200 credit.  It does not mention the alternate child credit in the description or help.

that is correct; there is a child tax credit for children under 17 ($2000) and a different credit ($500) called 'other dependent credit' which would include dependents over 16 years old
