Can someone claim a child on thier taxes if the child pasted away after birth?
the baby only lived for a day but a social security number was issued along with the birth certifacate. we tried to claim him but not we need to show proof that we cared for him for 6 months how can we do that?

I hope none of these retards do their own taxes! Because not one of these people have it right!

You most certainly can claim your child on your tax return.
As long as the child lived at all in 2006, even if just for a moment, he would still qualify.

Publication 501 and your 1040 tax booklet says it all.

You should send in a copy of the birth and death certificate. That should be more than enough proof for the IRS.

So sorry for your loss.

As long as the baby was born alive, you can claim him on your tax return. No, you don't have to have cared for him for six months since he wasn't alive that long - the rule that the child lived with you for over half the year for you to claim the exemption is only for children who were alive all year.

Most of the answers given here are WRONG, and many of those are pretty obnoxious and uncaring.

Yes, you can claim the child. IRS publication 17, page 29. This does not hold true for a stillborn child, but does for one born alive, even if only for a moment.

My condolences and sympathies go out to you both.

I don't know where you live, but in NY you can. My neice was born and died minutes later and they were allowed to claim her on taxes. I'm sorry for your loss.

A child that is born in a year can be taken as a dependent for said year; also is considered to have lived with you for 12 months. Just insert 12 months and go on with life.


bostonianinmo
Please ignore the insensitive a$$holes at the top of the responses. They are MORONS of the worst type -- spewing misinformation in a completely uncaring way.

Yes, you can claim a child who was born live even if they only lived for a moment. A child born during the year does not need to meet the 6 month test; you do not need to prove the 6 month test for the year of birth. A copy of the birth and death certificates is all you will need if the IRS questions the exemption claim.

My condolences on your loss.


duh
I would assume that since you DID NOT care for him for 6 months, you can't prove it.

I think you should be able to. But if you have to prove you cared for it for 6 months...you would need medical bills/documents of some sort, which obviously you cannot get. So, i wouldn't try. Its not worth it.

You sicken me. You're trying to cash in on your dead child... Did you only have him to try to get another welfare check? you can't figure out how to show proof that you cared for him for six months... maybe thats because there is no proof, because you didnt.

You cannot claim a dependent if the person is NOT living? Sorry? :-( You can visit your social security office for assistance or seek advice from your tax professional. GOOD LUCK! :-)
