@nick-sgherzi - that seems very odd..... can you post a few numbers and let's see if we can understand it.
1) what is you adjusted gross income (AGI)? (look at line 8b of form 1040)
2) when you add the dependent, does your filing status change to Head of Household?
3) what is the standard deduction before and after you add your child (look at line 9 of form 1040)
4) are you eligible for EIC?
5) are you using the desktop version or the online version of TT?
let's start there,
