For 2021 only the answer is yes however if you didn't work who supported you ?   Can they claim you and the baby as dependents ?

    If you do file a tax return, when TurboTax asks how many months the child lived with you, be sure to select "the whole year." That's the correct answer for a baby that was born during the year.
