We cannot see your return.   Did you enter her as a dependent and say in My Info that she was a full-time student?  What do you see on line 19 of your Form 1040?

 

Look at your 2023 Form 1040 to see the child-related credits you received

Child Tax Credit line 19

Credit for Other Dependents line 19

Earned Income Credit line 27

Additional Child Tax Credit line 28

The "Credit for "other" dependents is non-refundable. That is, it can only be used to reduce your tax liability. You do not automatically get $500.  If line 18 of your 1040 is already 0, you do not get any of that credit.
