Does the child have a Social Security Number?
According to the IRS:
"A qualifying child must have either:
- An SSN that’s valid for employment and assigned to them before the due date of your 2019 return (including the filing deadline postponement to July 15 and an extension to October 15 if you requested it); or
- An ATIN.
An ITIN won’t be accepted for a qualifying child."
