Deductions & credits

For a newborn you are supposed to say that the child lived with you for the whole year even if they were born on December 31.   If you answered incorrectly you will have to wait for the return to be fully processed and then amend.

 

 

Make sure you have entered your child as a dependent in My Info, and that you have entered the child's Social Security number. If your child was born in 2021make sure you said he lived with you the whole year.  There is an oddly worded question that asks if the child paid over half their own support.  Say NO to that question.
