The deduction will help reduce your taxable income. If you decide you want to claim the child, you would indicate in the program that the child lived with you all year (12 months). I am so sorry for the loss.&nbsp;</P> Sat, 01 Jun 2019 04:58:50 GMT https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/you-do-not-have-to-claim-the-child-s-dependent-but-you-c/01/109823#M46331 WillK 2019-06-01T04:58:50Z
