Maybe go through the interview for the newborn in the "My Personal Info" section.
Is the child listed as a dependent or as not a dependent under STATUS?
check the answers.
Look to see if the child is eligible for the "Child Tax Credit" which would show on the 1040 where dependents are listed. If not, there is a question that is answered incorrectly.
Sometimes it gets confusing with the months at home when the child was born the tax year. For example, if the child was born August 1st, people are tempted to select 5 months at home, but any child born is considered as in the home for 12 months.
Please make sure 12 months is selected. (unless there are other circumstances)
The question can be confusing as to "Did the child pay for more than half his living expenses" make sure you have selected No.
If you have TurboTax Desktop, look at "Recovery Rebate Credit Worksheet" in FORMS
