Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Be sure you said the new baby lived with you the WHOLE YEAR!  Go back and check that under My Info.

 

If you had a child born in 2021- Add them under My Info. You need to answer 2 questions…..

Did your child live with you for the whole year? Answer YES even if they were born late in the year (even on Dec 31).

 

Then was at least half of child's expenses paid by CHILD? Usually is NO.

 

Check 1040 line 28 for the Child Tax Credit.   It may have been added before you noticed or got to that section.  It will either increase your refund or reduce a tax due.

 

You should also get the 1,400 Recovery rebate credit for a baby on line 30.

 

Which box is checked at the top of 1040 for your child?  If the Child Tax Credit box isn't checked you answered something wrong.  Try deleting the baby and re enter him under My Info.

 

Before filing,  You can preview the 1040 or print the whole return
