So my daughter was born in august, does that mean on the section they ask where the child lived during the 2016 year do i select the whole year or just put the months she was born on?

You will select that she has lived with you the entire year, for all of the 12 months.

How can a child live with parents for a whole year if it they are born in August?  This does not make sense.  Could you provide a link at irs.gov that supports your statement?
