Example: Tax year ends December 2007...Child born February 2007.
A friend of mind told me it is possible. What do you think?
No wise remarks please. Truthful, intelligent, mature responses.

No, child has to be born by 12/31 of any year in order to be claimed for that year. Also, a child that is born and unfortunately dies during that year is deemed to be alive for the entire year and can be claimed as a dependent for the year the child was born.

No , you can not do your taxes for 2007, and claim a child born in 2008. You can claim one born at ANYTIME during the tax year, even if it is in December. But as I said, they must be in the year for which you are filing.

You can claim the child for 2008, but not for 2007 since he or she wasn't born yet.
You have to show the child's social security number on the tax return to claim them, and that isn't issued until AFTER they are born.

If the tax year ends 12/07 and the child is born 2/07 then it's obvious you can claim him/her. No claim can be made if they were born after the tax year ended...I thought that would be fairly simple.

No, you won't be able to claim the child until you file your 08 return

Yes, Since American law states that Child younger the age of 13 is Govt. responsibility, under any circumstances the kid will receive Tax rebate or more precisely his guardians
