Tax Year 2016: Is there a tax credit for giving birth in 2016?

[KarenL2]

You can claim the child as a dependent and may qualify for other credits such as the Child Tax Credit.  If your child was born during the year, enter that he/she lived with you the entire year (12 months) rather than only the months from the date of birth.  This assumes you are entitled to claim the child.  See below.

What about the age test: must be under 19 at December 31 2016?
