    Opinion filed June 14, 2019.
    Appeal from the Department of
    Revenue, Child Support Enforcement
    Program.
    Debra J. Sutton of Sutton Law Firm,
    Bartow, for Appellant.
    Ashley Moody, Attorney General,
    Tallahassee, and Toni C. Bernstein,
    Senior Assistant Attorney General,
    Tampa, for Appellee.
    CASE, Associate Senior Judge.
    Kunta Kinte Holley appeals from a final administrative support order
    entered by the Department of Revenue, Child Support Enforcement Program. He
    argues, and the Department concedes, that the Department erred in computing his
    retroactive child support obligation. See § 61.30(17), Fla. Stat. (2017) (limiting the time
    period for recovery of retroactive child support to twenty-four months prior to filing the
    petition). The Department also acknowledges that it incorrectly used evidence related to
    Holley's current income to calculate his retroactive support obligation despite having
    information regarding his monthly income during the retroactive time period. See Salters
    v. Dep't of Revenue ex rel. Mobley, 
    32 So. 3d 777
    , 778-79 (Fla. 2d DCA 2010) (stating that
    the Department must calculate the retroactive support due using income information in its
    possession from the retroactive time period). Therefore, we affirm Holley's current support
    obligation but reverse his retroactive support obligation and remand for recalculation. In all
    other respects, we affirm.
    Affirmed in part, reversed in part, and remanded.
    SALARIO and ATKINSON, JJ., Concur.
