Question

August Baby

We had our first child at the start of august. Do we still qualify for the child tax credit since it’s only been 5 months instead of the required 6 months?

Alumni - Intuit

Yes. In the year a child is born, you can select "The whole year" as the amount of time the child lived with you as long as the child lived with you from birth through the end of the year.
