Georgia made it official that you can claim an unborn child as a dependent. How do we claim this credit using TurboTax?

Maybe @DoninGA can help with this.

In the Georgia state program -

On the screen labeled Here's the income that  Georgia handles differently

Under Miscellaneous

On  Dependent Personal Exemption for Unborn Children, click the start button

I added the credit for 1 unborn child on my taxes but it's not giving me the 3000 credit. It doesn't change anything. What am I doing wrong?

It is not a credit ... it simply reduces your taxable income....

If you are referring the Unborn child exemption on the Georgia state income tax return, you only need to select in the Income section under Miscellaneous that you have a Dependent Personal Exemption for Unborn Children.

On the GA return you ONLY get a $3000 reduction in taxable income ... you do NOT get $3000 more in your refund... it is NOT a refundable credit.  GA tax rates are from 1% up to 5.75%  so the unborn child  would be worth between $30 and $172.50 in tax reduction ... nothing much in the grand scheme of things.
