Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Make sure you have a valid for work SSN number entered for the baby and make sure you have indicated that the baby lived with you the whole year.  If you indicate a partial year, you won't qualify for the tax credits.   A child born at any point during the tax year is assumed to have lived with you the entire year.  This is true even if the child was born on 12/31.   If you continue having issues, delete the dependent and re-add them.    @ambersmith1219  And congrats on the new addition!
