    A child born alive in 2024 can be entered as a dependent on a 2024 tax return.  When entering them as a dependent in the My Info section of the program make sure that you indicate the child lived with you for the Whole Year.

    Also, when entering the dependent there will be screen with checkboxes and one of the questions is if they passed away.  Check the box and then enter the date of passing in 2024.
