Yes, you would be able to claim him on your taxes.  You will enter his information in the personal info section.  You will need to enter his DOB and DOD, then for the SSN you will need to enter DIED.  This will allow you to claim him as a dependent on your return.  You will also need to select that he lived with you for the entire year.  This is allowed when a child is born or dies during the year.   

 

After walking through and answering all the questions, you will continue on through your return.
