I can claim my child as a dependent, but it says he has a disqualifying situation but he is 2, how can he be disqualified?

Legally separated, child stayed with me the whole year, i paid for everything.

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 2024 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.
