Claiming a child as a dependent

We are trying to claim my stepdaughter as a dependent for our 2020 return, but the software is not allowing her to qualify.  We are entitled to claim her this year per the separation agreement but the system is not allowing me to designate us to make the claim.  It just states she's eligible for the EIC/Dependent Care.  What can I do in the system to allow us to claim her?
