Persons on a tax return are verified against what is on file with Social Security. Sometime people have two middle names or two last names. You can try a different combination if this is the case. Sometimes Social Security may only use one of the last names or may think part of the middle name is part of a last name. Also verify you are using the right social security number and the correct date of birth.
I have not heard of the IRS database being out of date, even for children born late in the year.
I would suspect is is a name mismatch or year of birth, so double check those things.
