Error message - You can't claim any dependents

Unsure why I'm getting this message:

You Can't Claim Any Dependents

You cannot claim any dependents on your 2020 return because both [you] and [spouse] can be claimed as a dependent on someone else's return.

I'm using TurboTax 2020 (PC app). Situation is my wife and I had twins in 2020--our firsts--and want to claim our new kids.

did you check the box that asks whether you can be claimed as a dependent on someone else's return? why?

that is the problem
