You should review the entries that you made in TurboTax. 

 

For claiming your son as a dependent, I'm not sure if you have another person that you are claiming as a dependent, or if you mean that you are claiming both yourself and your son. If that's the case, you actually only have one dependent, your son. But if you don't show your son as a dependent, go back through the Personal Info section, and check each answer carefully.

  • Make sure that you answered yes you have dependents, and check that you chose the correct number of dependents (don't include yourself).
  • If you've already entered a dependent, you can select Add another dependent under Your household and then go through the dependent section.
  •  Don't skip any questions, including whether he lived with you, and if he lived in the US. 
  • If your son's other parent isn't filing a joint return with you, make sure that you answer whether or not you have a written agreement as to who claims the child, and who your son spent the most nights with during the year.
  •  Finally, make sure that you added his Social Security Number when asked. 

As far as the farming income question and the sheet relating to  buying a computer, can you please clarify what you are seeing? It may be that you inadvertently clicked on an area in the program that wound up creating forms that you don't need.  Here are instructions for deleting a form in TurboTax Online, but please respond back here for more directions based on your situation.

If he turned 18 in 2026 then he was 17 in 2025.   Has to be under 17 to get the Child Tax Credit.   Otherwise you only get the $500 Other Dependent.   Is he listed at the top of your 1040?
