“What tax credits are available to me after my baby is born?”

Life eventQuick Question · 30 min · $95

A new baby can affect several parts of a tax return, and the credits or other benefits available often depend on the child’s age, the tax year, and who can claim the child. In many cases, the Child Tax Credit, the credit for other dependents, and related filing status questions may come into play, along with items tied to day care, health insurance, or dependent care records. The exact outcome often turns on the child’s residency, Social Security number status, and how the parents share household and custody responsibilities. Walking the details through with a CPA is the fastest way to know what truly applies here.
