Why did Ian's info show that he was not a dependent last year 2015? We supported him the whole year he was only 17yrs old. Did we lose money?

If your child turned 17 in 2016, even on the last day of 2016, you do not get the child tax credit. There are no exceptions to the rule. You can still claim your child as a dependent.
