Hello @Julienne1,
Congrats on the new baby! Since your baby was born in 2022, you will be eligible to claim the Child Tax Credit when you file your 2022 taxes. Currently the credit is 2,000 for every dependent under the age of 16. Income thresholds for single taxpayers and heads of households are set at 200,000 to qualify. Please note that TurboTax will ask you questions as you prepare your 2022 return to verify that she can be claimed as a dependent. More information on qualifying for the Child Tax Credit can be found here: https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tips/family/child-tax-credit/L9ZIjdlZz
You can also refer to this TurboTax article here for more information: https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/family-tax-credits-deductions/new-depend...
For your girlfriend, the IRS defines a dependent as a "qualifying child", or "a qualifying relative." You can refer to this TurboTax article for more information and to see if she qualifies as an other dependent. https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tips/family/rules-for-claiming-a-dependent-on-your-tax-return/L8LODb...
Congrats again!
