Child tax credit between 6 and 18 is $3,000 client has 2 kids that qualify. They received $1500 each in advance credit so remainder should be $3000. Program is giving them only $1000. I can't figure out why form 8812 is reducing the credit.

Help please

How old are their children?

"$3,600 in 2021 for each child under age 6. Similarly, for each child age 6 to 16, it’s increased from $2,000 to $3,000. It also provides the $3,000 credit for 17-year-olds."

It's not "to 18" but "under 18."
