    Can I claim my son
    My expected date to have my baby is Feb. 19 2008 can I claim him on my tax return or do I have to wait until next year. I was told if I wait until the last day to file taxes I should be able to carry him I just wanted to make sure.

    No, he will be a dependent on your 2008 taxes, but not for 2007

    Sorry but you can not claim him on the 2007, he would have had to be born by Dec 31 to be claimed,
