It should but the worksheet doesn't matter if you know it is wrong cause it doesn't get sent to the IRS.

Agree - thanks but someone who has a child at age 17 may answer the questions incorrectly.  It is an auto field but technically the worksheet should reflect the correct age.  Thanks for your clarification.

It's still a good idea to post, because some preparers might not know it is wrong and answer it wrong,
