Why does the system state that my Qualifying Child(NOT Qualifying Relatives) qualifies for the $500 Other Dependent Credit only if her income is under $5,050?

As a Qualifying Child, her income should not affect eligibility for this credit, as the $5,050 limit applies only to Qualifying Relatives.

You should not even be asked about their income if you have entered them correctly as a qualifying child.  Either they have aged out, or you answered one of the other questions incorrectly.  Try deleting them as a dependent and starting over.

If she is over the age of 16, you do not get the child tax credit.  You get the $500 credit for other dependents.  How old is she?

If the dependent is under the age of 17 or a full time student under the age of 24, then you answered a question incorrectly concerning the dependent.

 

Delete the dependent and then re-enter.  Carefully review each answer given when entering the dependent again.
