Can I claim a child born in October 2006 on this years taxes?

Yes. So long as an infant is born alive, or alive for a moment in any year, that child entitles you to an exemption for that year. Assuming he or she meets the dependency requirement. |

Yes, whether born on January 1 or December 31, the dependent counts for the entire year. There is no prorating. Don't forget to have their social security # ready! |

Yes. As long as the child was born on or before Dec. 31, you get a full dependant exemption. |

As long as he was born during any part of the year, you get to claim him for 2006. |

As long as he is born in 2006 your fine, it's like an unexpected Christmas bonus :) because you get a nice return from it. (as long as he's your child of course or you can prove that you care for the child - step-parent, etc) |
