There is no cut off date for when your child is born during the 2009 year, right? It occurred to me reading a post on another tax question. My due date is Nov 9th and I haven't had to deal with a new baby in 7 years, it's all been length of time custody issues.

I don't know what you mean by cut off date - if you are asking whether you get a tax exemption for the child, yes, if the child is born any time in 2009 you get a tax credit for 2009.

I wasn't quite sure how to put it, I'm glad you could understand what I meant. Thanks! Sometimes my brain can't form coherent thoughts lately, then I type backward... It's awesome being pregnant... lol

I know the feeling - sometimes my fingers race ahead of my brain. And I don't even have the "pregnant" excuse!

I see that JudyKayTree beat me to the punch. Her answer is accurate.
