When claiming my child I’m only showing a return of $500, I thought it was $2000?

Did they turn 17 in 2024?  Has to be under 17 or under 24 if a full time student.   Go back and check your answers under My Info.   

He is under 17. I tried checking the info again and am still only getting the $500. 

Make sure you have entered your child as a dependent in My Info, and that you have entered the child's Social Security number.    Careful— do not say that your child’s SSN is not valid for employment.  If your child was born in 2024 make sure you said he lived with you the whole year.  There is an oddly worded question that asks if the child paid over half their own support.  Say NO to that question.

Thank you so much! This fixed it!!
