I had a stillborn in January 2017. Can I claim her this year or next?

posted

A child must be born alive to be able to claim them as a dependent on a tax return. If the child had been born alive, even if for only a short time, the child could be claimed as a dependent on the 2017 tax return, to be filed next year.

Can I file 2023 taxes and claim those wages? If I worked Nov 6th through December 31st. Due to issues adding me to system I didn't recirvd pay check until January 2024.
