Review your personal info to help ensure that you have:

Entered your child as a dependent
Entered your child's Social Security number
You didn’t enter that your child’s SSN is not valid for employment.

You can also delete your dependent and re-entering.

For TurboTax Online:

Go to the Personal profile screen
Under Your Household, select Revisit. Go through the interview screens and make sure that you check Yes your child lived with you for the whole year.

For TurboTax Desktop:

Open your tax return
Select Personal Info
Select Edit next to your dependent.

Make sure the box isn't check next to Not valid for employment' is printed on Child's Social Security card.
