does my child that was born in 2025 get filed on my taxes for 2024 as a dependent

[DoninGA]

On a federal tax return, a child born between 01/01/2025 and 12/31/2025 can be entered as a dependent on a 2025 tax return.

[MindyB]

No, they are not a dependent for federal purposes until they are born, in 2025.  

However, there are a few states that have credits for unborn children, such as Georgia (see: Life Act Guidance) so check your specific's state rules.

[James L3]

No.  The dependent must be born in the 2024 year to  be a dependent in 2024.
