additional child tax credit

[Amy B]

My client has social security income only, a 15-year-old daughter as dependent, Head of Household.  Additional child tax credit is not calculating.

Sounds right.  There's no earned income.

If this seems different than the 2021 return - remember 2021 had special rules for the refundable Additional Child Tax Credit - no income was required.   That provision expired December 31, 2021.

As mentioned the CTC is nonrefundable, and I believe you must have EARNED INCOME to get the additional child tax credit
