For children with Social Security Numbers, enter on the tax return as a dependent and answer the questions.
If your child was born and died in 2023 and didn't have an Social Security number you may enter "DIED" in column 2 of the Dependents section for the Social Security number. You won't be able to e-file, you will have to print and mail your tax return. You also need to attach a copy of the child's birth certificate, death certificate, or a hospital record showing a live birth.
Refer to the IRS FAQ and the TurboTax Help article Deceased dependent without SSN doesn't autopopulate DIED in the SSN field for instructions.
I am so sorry for your loss.
