Can i claim my child born in Novemeber 2017

Yes. A child born at any point during the year is considered to have lived with you for the entire year.

If you need to amend your return please see: Amending a return

@jojocruz1205 You would have to file an amendment to your return. I have updated the answer above to include a link that guides you through the amendment process.

Would i be able to get this money next year or i would have to do this process now ?

[ChrisVonHoep]

You would not be able to claim a 2017 tax year deduction on your 2018 return. In order to claim a 2017 deduction, it would have to be on your 2017 return. It can't be "added" to next year's return.
