Why is Proseries allowing a 92 year old parent as a dependent on a return to get the qualified 500 credit for other dependent?

[gka111]

The program seems to have started to allow the $500 credit for qualified credit for other dependent for all dependent, regardless of age.  This appears to have just started within the last few updates.  

Has anyone noticed or am I reading the rules incorrectly?  I'm assuming I need to mark the box on dependents but I don't understand why Proseries stopped marking the box.

Is there a way to add a query so I can see what returns have already been sent in so I can figure out what returns I need to amend?

Is there an age limit in 2018?

yes, you need to be over 17 or older, right?

The form states you must be under the age of 17 to get the child tax credit.  Proseries correctly marked the box that said they did not qualify.  I do not see anywhere  that states that to the other dependent credit you can be over 17.

Apparently you are correct.  Thank you.

Child tax Credit is for children, yes.  The Other Dependent Credit  is not.
