taxes and new baby

What do I need to bring to get taxes done after having baby?

their social security card

Just for the baby? His/her SS card (or just knowing the number works.)

If you had the baby in 12 you can put them on your taxes. Just their social security number.

Quoting Michael Westen:" Just for the baby? His/her SS card (or just knowing the number works.)"

This!

You won't get a deduction if you had the baby in December  We found out the hard way.

She had the baby for more than 6 months of the year.

since when? DD was born on the 29 and we still got it

Quoting Blythe.:" since when? DD was born on the 29 and we still got it"

I know a couple who actually had twins last year/this year! They still got it for the one kid!

(One was born at like 11:54 on the 31st and the other was born at 12:03 I think.)

Quoting Cute&Wicked:" You won't get a deduction if you had the baby in December  We found out the hard way."

According to who? LO was born on December 2nd and we should be getting one for him.

We just did our taxed and didn't get a deduction for him. I have NO idea why. We only got a deduction for his older brother.

did you do them yourself? I would do an amend

Okay thanks ladies! I had LO in april 2012   so I think ill be clear!

Quoting Blythe.:" did you do them yourself? I would do an amend "

Yeah, my hubby did them. We used Turbotax.

Quoting Cute&Wicked:" Yeah, my hubby did them. We used Turbotax."

did it not give you an option to add a second dependent? You can do an amend on there.
