Do you wait to file EIC a year after the baby is born or do you file now. My baby will be due the end of April and Ive heard conflicting facts about this. Please help me clear this up.

If your baby is born Jan 1- Dec 31, 2006, then you claim the baby on your 2006 taxes. If your baby is born in 2007, then you claim it on your 2007 taxes.

The year they were born, even if it's 11:59pm on December 31. And claiming your child on your taxes is different than using them on your EIC form. Although you would use them on both forms.

You have to wait until next year when he is actually born but you will still get to claim him when you were pregnant. Do you do your own taxes or do you have an accountant? check out H & R block. They should also be able to help you when you are ready to prepare your taxes.

You can only claim a dependent after the birth. The IRS does not consider an unborn baby to be a person.

You can not claim your child until it is born. If your due date is next year you can not claim it until next years taxes.

You can not claim an unborn child. In order to claim a person they need a SSN and an unborn child can not have a SSN
