Deductions & credits

The IRS has not updated its definition of a dependent. Under IRS rules, in order to claim a newborn child as a dependent, state or local law must treat the child as having been born alive, and there must be proof of a live birth shown by an official document like a birth certificate.

 

See Dependents 10

 

TurboTax does include a place in the Georgia section to claim a dependent personal exemption in the amount of $3,000 for each unborn child.

 

On the screen Here’s the income that Georgia handles differently, scroll down to Miscellaneous and select Dependent Personal Exemption for Unborn Children.
