You could have applied for your son's SSN. He is entitled to one.

If your son was born in 2022 you can add him as a dependent for the 2022 tax year, so amend that return if applicable.  If he was born in 2023, there is no need to amend.  Assuming that you filed as married for all years that you were married.

Yes my son was born in 2022 but he was born in november and by the time i got back to the usa it was december there was no time for me to get him a SSN because i only had 1 month. Also my tax guy told me i couldnt claim my son because he didnt have a SSN in 2022.

Apply for the baby's SSN.  Once you get it, send the IRS an amended tax return.  You'll likely owe less taxes and may get an additional refund.  Amending the 2022 tax return will take as long as it takes, it will probably not have any impact on the I-864 as long as the number of dependents has been updated to include the baby.  Amending the tax return was a suggestion from a senior member, it is not critically important for your wife's visa interview.  If the interview is four months or more away as you stated earlier, that's plenty of time to get the SSN and file an amended return.

On another note, if the interview is months away, you can probably find a better paid job/second job and make up for the missing income.
