My new born child does not show up in dependent drop down list
Hi,
I am working on the deductions and credits section of my Federal Tax return.
I am using Turbotax desktop on Mac, purchased+downloaded the premier version.
I had a new born son in 2023. Already added the info in "Personal Info".
(and no one else has claimed him as a dependent in their tax return filings)
As shown in this screenshot, I expect my son shows up in this drop down list of dependent.
I called custom support. The person on the phone helped me to navigate a bit, and agreed this seems like a bug.
We also tried:
* save the filing and re-open + resume by double-clicking the saved turbotax file
(so the dependent personal info gets "updated" to some server even in the local cache for the UI to pick up)
* in this page, clicking "Add Another Person", this takes me to the same form in "personal info" section editing dependents, I tried to remove the dependent and re-add the dependent. The drop down does not include the dependent.
Any help is appreciated, Thanks!
