Are you preparing a 2019 tax return? If your child was born in 2020, you cannot claim the child on a 2019 tax return. The child was not born yet. Next year when you prepare your 2020 tax return you can claim your baby.

Explain further.

A child born in 2020 can be claimed on your 2020 tax return next year.
