error message on 8867 for ODC

[MaryMatt]

I have a taxpayer claiming daughter 26, full time student with less than 5000 income, and claiming parent.  Both should be other dependents.  After I complete the form 8867 and checklists, I get an error message saying CTC/AOTC box should not be checked unless claiming CTC or AOTC.   

The box in question is labeled CTC/AOTC/ODC and I am claiming ODC.  How can I claim ODC?

Check your Federal Information Worksheet entries for each dependent.

I just added a 26 year old dependent marked as Other and it computes the ODC for me, no errors on the 8867....do you see the $500 on Line 19?  Do you have a valid SSN entered?

[MaryMatt]

Parent (other dependent) has ITIN, and is applying for renewal with this return. It is not a SS #.  My understanding is parent can be claimed as other dependent

Think ITIN is due to expire before due date of return.  I took out parent, and it seemed to work.
