You cannot add a child as a dependent on your federal tax return until after the child is born.  You can add the child on the 2024 tax return that you file next year.

 

Or are you referring to a state tax return for an unborn child?

  3. Locate Miscellaneous
  4. Locate "Dependent Personal Exemption for Unborn Children.", start
