Is there no longer a basic personal deduction for a child. I can't see that line anywhere. I put his name, etc into Turbo Tax, expecting to see a basic deduction in the forms somewhere but the only personal deductions I see are for myself and the appropriate part of my wife's. I thought it should show on line 305 but that seems to be for other child related deductions. If this is the case, can I get around this by filing a tax return for him and then claiming the unused amount (he is 5 so is not employed)
