Claiming Newborn on Taxes!

Also wanted to add, I noticed the residency test has changed slightly from previous years for children born during the year. In the past, the child had to live with you the entire time they were alive if they were born during the year (and didn't live with you over half the year). Meaning if the infant lived with the bio parents for even a day, the child did not meet the residency test to be a qualifying child. Now, however, it states that the child just had to be be with you over half the time he/she was alive. So this will greatly help many foster parents with infants. (This would have made a huge difference for us a couple years ago.)
