You may have indicated on your W-4 for work that you have a child ---- that W-4 only goes to your employer. Yes, if you are claiming a dependent, you have to enter the child's information on your tax return. Enter the child's information in My Info when you prepare your return.
Make sure you have entered your child as a dependent in My Info, and that you have entered the child's Social Security number. Careful— do not say that your child’s SSN is not valid for employment. If your child was born in 2023 make sure you said he lived with you the whole year. There is an oddly worded question that asks if the child paid over half their own support. Say NO to that question.
