Child tax credit not calculating?

stacydobson

I have a client with two children eligible for the $3K child tax credit.  Married filing jointly AGI is just over 73K.  Advanced payments totaled $3K.  The software is calculating no additional child tax credit due when I believe it should be an additional $3K.  I don't have the boxed checked in the dependent section stating they are not eligible.  Am I missing something?

You have to follow the money...scroll down further, you should see 3000 on Line 14i that should transfer to Line 28 of the 1040. Where does it go wrong?

It is 6K, but it's not translating to the return.
