Deductions & credits

I think we need to go even more basic than that.  Why is your child not eligible for an SSN?  Is your child a US resident?  Did you claim your child as a dependent in 2023 and is the box for "Credit for other dependents" checked?

 

Then, did you actually have an FSA benefit on your W-2 for 2023?  With an amount in box 10 of your W-2?  Did you include a form 2441 with your tax return, and what does it say?
