Hello CuriousChristy!
Thank you for joining us for the event today, and for trusting us with your tax question. I am so very sorry for your loss.
A child who was born and passed away in the same year is still eligible to be claimed as a dependent, and is potentially eligible for both the earned income credit and the child tax credit.
If your daughter did not have a social security number, you may need to mail in your return and some supporting documentation.
The IRS has a really helpful, brief resource on this topic and on what you may need for documentation here.
