Do I claim for a my 6 month old?

[TurboTaxMary-Ann · Accepted solution]

You may be able to claim the amount for an eligible dependant  if at any time in the year you met all of the following conditions at once:

• You did not have a spouse or common-law partner or, if you did, you were not living with, supporting, or being supported by that person.
• You supported a dependant in 2016.
• You lived with the dependant (in most cases in Canada) in a home you maintained. You cannot claim this amount for a person who was only visiting you.

In addition, at the time you met the above conditions, the dependant must also have been either:

• your parent or grandparent by blood, marriage, common-law partnership, or adoption; or
• your child, grandchild, brother, or sister, by blood, marriage, common-law partnership, or adoption and under 18 years of age or had an impairment in physical or mental functions.

Hi, thank you for using Intuit turbotax Live Community

Generally it is best to enter any dependants that were born in the tax year or before. TurboTax can then try to determine if any benefits are allowed; especially if you step through the easy step method of preparation.

Hope this helps
