You probably answered something incorrectly in MY INFO. Go back to MY INFO, click the child’s name and go through all of the interview questions carefully and slowly. Read every screen top to bottom.

Make sure you have entered your child as a dependent in My Info, and that you have entered the child's Social Security number. Careful— do not say that your child’s SSN is not valid for employment. If your child was born in 2025 make sure you said he lived with you the whole year. There is an oddly worded question that asks if the child paid over half their own support. Say NO to that question.

Edit him in the Personal Info/My Info section.

Birth Date....SSN (do NOT say SSN is not eligible for employment.)

...kid did NOT provide more than half his own support.

And for a newborn child, the child lived with you all year. (all the time since birth is alive all year)
