$1,000 child tax credit. For 2014, a new baby also delivers a tax credit of up $1,000, even if the child was born late in the year. Unlike a deduction that reduces the amount of income the government gets to tax, a credit reduces your tax bill dollar-for-dollar.
To claim a deduction as a dependent, your child or stepchild must be under age 19 as of the end of the tax year unless he is in school. If your child is a full-time student for a minimum of five months out of the year, he must be under age 24 at the tax year's end. Your child must live at your residence for over six months of the year to qualify for your deduction.
