Is there a way to file your pregnancy as a dependent on taxes

Some states may have that as an option, but generally you cannot claim a child on your tax return until the child is born.  If the child is born in 2024 then you can claim them as a dependent on your 2024 tax return that you will file next year.

You can claim a child born anytime in 2023 on your 2023 taxes, assuming they meet all the other dependent qualifications. A baby born in 2024 can be claimed on your 2024 taxes.

 

When we ask how many months your newborn lived with you, always answer the whole year, even if your baby was born on the last day of 2023. The same holds true for any healthcare coverage questions if your newborn was insured from the date of birth.
