    Default ? re. child tax credit

    I had a child on nov 15. Some people have told me we'll get to claim her for the whole year and others have told me we can only claim her for the rest of nov and all of december. We also have another child 22months old, I don't know if that is pertinent info. Does anyone know???

    TIA

    Hmmm...I don't think it asks you how old the child is. If you have a child, you get the credit. I could be wrong...but we had Makayla in September of 02 and I do not remember having to specify her age. Also, if I am not mistaken, our accountant was joking with me to have this baby in December, so I can get the credit this year instead of waiting for a whole 'nother year.

    So, in short...if you have a child ANYTIME in the year (January - December) you get the credit. I think.

    Thanks ladies. A little extra money via tax refund check sounds good to me.
