Deductions & credits
The amount that you get for claiming an unborn child on the Georgia return, isn't a credit, but a personal exemption amount. Once the amount is shown on line 7b of the Georgia Form 500, it gets added to the personal exemptions on line 7c. The amount on line 7c is carried to line 14 and multiplied by $4,000 to calculate your personal exemption amount.
The personal exemption is used to reduce your taxable income. Each exemption reduces your tax by $4,000.
To claim the exemption in TurboTax:
- Go to your state return
- On the screen of Here's the income that Georgia handles differently, scroll down to the Miscellaneous Section
- Select Start next to Dependent Personal Exemption for Unborn Children
- Enter the number of unborn children
