A child born any time during 2010 -- as late as New Year's Eve -- qualifies the parents to claim both a $1,000 child credit and a $3,650 dependency exemption. When a child is born, parents should adjust tax withholding on their paychecks to account for the reduced tax bill.
Another organization, the American Woman Suffrage Association, led by Lucy Stone, was formed in the same year to work through the state legislatures.
