Hi @lilith1071985 !
To claim your 2021 Child Tax Credit you will need to file a 2021 tax return. Here is a link to file your 2021 taxes:
TurboTax® 2021 Prior Year Tax Prep - File Past Years' Taxes (intuit.com)
If you have already filed a return for that year and didn't claim it, you can amend the return. In TurboTax, visit Tax Home, and then scroll down to your "Your tax returns & documents", and find the 2021 tab. You can select to amend.
Hope this helps!

You have to file a 2021 tax return and enter the child as a dependent on the 2021 tax return
To complete and file a 2021 tax return using TurboTax you would need to purchase, download and install on a personal computer one of the 2021 desktop editions from this website - https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/past-years-products/
A 2021 tax return can only be printed and mailed, it cannot be e-filed using TurboTax.
