We cannot see your return. So this is a guess. Did you perhaps enter an incorrect answer pertaining to your son's Social Security number/card? We have seen that happen a few times. Go back and see if you said he did not have a SS number valid for employment.
A9. For qualifying children, the SSN must be valid for employment in the United States.
- If an individual was a U.S. citizen when he or she received the SSN, then it is valid for employment in the United States.
- If “Not Valid for Employment” is printed on the individual’s Social Security card and the individual’s immigration status has changed so that he or she is now a U.S. citizen or permanent resident, ask the SSA for a new Social Security card.
- If “Valid for Work Only With DHS Authorization” is printed on the individual’s Social Security card, the individual has an SSN valid for employment only as long as the Department of Homeland Security authorization is valid.
