@lake734518 Yes----is this your first child? Have you not filed a tax return claiming a dependent before now? You have to enter your child's information onto your tax return in order to receive various child-related credits such as the child tax credit, earned income credit, childcare credit.....
Go to My Info-----same place in the software where you entered your own name, SSN, address etc. and choose that you want to enter a dependent. You will need to enter your child's name, date of birth, Social Security number, etc.
