IRS letter stating schedule 1 is missing for my minor son (15 yrs old)

This is the first year my son filed a return & he was 15, so it had to be mailed in.  We received a letter stating "Schedule 1 is incomplete or missing from your return.  Complete the schedule with information that supports $$$$ on line 12, 1040.  Also attach all supporting forms or schedules, as required".  All he had was a W-2 and some bank interest.  The program did not provide a schedule 1.  How can I fix this?  Line 12 is showing his W-2 amount plus the standard $350 added to it.  It did not calculate in his bank interest.  Could that be causing the issue and does he need to file a schedule 1?  I called the IRS and they said yes, he needs a schedule 1.  Please help this poor 15 year old!
