Unable to get TurboTax to enter non-child tax credit

My daughter turned 17 in November 2021, so she no longer qualifies for the child tax credit. I believe she should qualify for the non-child dependent credit of $500. On the 1040, TurboTax checked the box for "qualifies for child tax credit" (which I believe is wrong, since she turned 17), but I can't find any amount deducted or credited on any form for either credit.

Actually the rules are different for ONLY 2021---a child who is not 18 by the end of 2021 gets the child tax credit.  If she was younger than 18 at the end of 2021--good news--- you get the child tax credit.   It will show up on line 28 of your Form 1040

 

A3. For tax year 2021, a qualifying child is an individual who does not turn 18 before January 1, 2022, and who satisfies the following conditions:

  1. The individual is the taxpayer’s son, daughter, stepchild, eligible foster child, brother, sister, stepbrother, stepsister, half-brother, half-sister, or a descendant of any of them (for example, a grandchild, niece, or nephew).
  2. The individual does not provide more than one-half of his or her own support during 2021.
  3. The individual lives with the taxpayer for more than one-half of tax year 2021. For exceptions to this requirement, see IRS Publication 972, Child Tax Credit and Credit for Other Dependents PDF.
  4. The individual is properly claimed as the taxpayer’s dependent. For more information about how to properly claim an individual as a dependent, see IRS Publication 501, Dependents, Standard Deduction, and Filing Information. PDF
  5. The individual does not file a joint return with the individual’s spouse for tax year 2021 or files it only to claim a refund of withheld income tax or estimated tax paid.
  6. The individual was a U.S. citizen, U.S. national, or U.S. resident alien. For more information on this condition, see IRS Publication 519, U.S. Tax Guide for Aliens.

Oh, I see, and then the confusing IRS advance payments are deducted from the credit. I REALLY wish they had left it alone. Taces were confusing enough already.
