My first child was born in 2021, and I am trying to add her as a dependent. My spouse and I (filing jointly) have never claimed dependents in the past. Going through the step-by-step process I enter the following (underlined is my entry).
- Who do you support? - My Child
- Tell us about your child: Birthday 02/xx/2021. US Citizen. This child is my daughter
- How many months did xxxxx live with you in 2021? - The whole year. Months in the US - The whole year.
- Did any of these apply to xxxxx - None of these apply
- Who are xxxxx legal parents - Me and my spouse
- Did xxxxx pay for more than half of her living expenses - No, xxxxx did't pay...
- Did a relative help support xxxxx - No, a relative didnt live in my....
- Entered her work-valid social security ##
The program returns her status as Nondependent. I have deleted and gone through the process multiple times with the same result. Based on my entries, she should be listed as a dependent.
Am I missing something or is this a bug with the program?
