Question

Is anyone else having problems with the Child Tax Credit

I had an update to my program last night and now it is not figuring the Child Tax Credit correctly.  I have a client with a 17 year old so he should get $500 for the child tax credit.  But I cannot get the program to give it to him.  Anyone else having problems?  ProSeries - can you make the correction?

You are saying the 1040 is NOT showing the child as a dependent?  If so, that is why the $500 is not being credited.

Are you using code "L" for the dependent?  Look at my picture below ... does yours look any different?

Double check the child is actually showing up as a dependent on the 1040.

Is there income tax on Line 18 of Form 1040?  If there isn't tax, the $500 credit is not-refundable.

Yep, I checked that and it won't give him the credit.
