*Loan,banking and credit>>>child tax

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. Source(s): http://www.irs.gov/publications/p501/ar0...

you can't claim a dead child that's called cheating on your taxes i'm sorry that he passed away but you are cheating i hope you get audited!
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! :-)
Tax Dependents
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.
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.
