Couple questions. I filed my tax return this year and I listed my step son as my son by accident. He went back and forth from us to his actual dad which he lived with me and his mom for over half the year. Every year between us and his birth dad take turns claiming him. This year it’s our turn.
His mother doesn’t work so I’m claiming her as a dependent.
I need to change it from son to step son but when I try too it doesn’t give me the option for step child just son or daughter. When I go back to previous screen and select other, it just gives me relatives like Nephew, aunt, grandchild etc etc.
how do I change this or do I just leave him marked as son?
Question #2: if a couple give birth to a child from August through December, can they claim that infant/child on the tax return or do they have to wait a whole another year?
