Why am I getting the Credit for Other Dependents instead of the Child Tax Credit?

There are a few reasons why you might get the Credit for Other Dependents instead of the Child Tax Credit. Common reasons include:

• Your child is now 17 years or older.
• Your child is no longer considered a qualifying child, but is considered a qualifying relative dependent.
• Your child has an Individual Tax Identification Number (ITIN), but doesn't have a Social Security number.
