I qualify for the California Earned Credit & Children, but TurboTax states that I included a household member with an Itin when I did not. What should I do?

I file my taxes with my 6 year old daughter. We are both US citizens which is why I don’t get why Turbo Tax states that a household member has an ITIN.

In TurboTax Online, go back to the Personal Info section and review your entries including answers to all of the questions and the Social Security numbers entered.

The ITIN is a nine-digit number that always begins with the number 9 and has a range of numbers from 50 to 65, 70 to 88, 90 to 92, and 94 to 99 for the fourth and fifth digits. The ITIN is formatted like an SSN: 9XX-XX-XXXX.
