However, having LO did throw us into AMT. So, no benefit really for having LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-to-deduct-your-kid-from-your-taxes-this-year#post-719259 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 09:29:41 +0000 bunnylove08 719259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yup she was born on sept! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-to-deduct-your-kid-from-your-taxes-this-year#post-719216 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 09:20:37 +0000 oliviaoblivia 719216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were eight days shy of making the cut. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-to-deduct-your-kid-from-your-taxes-this-year#post-719210 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 09:19:17 +0000 swurlygurl 719210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, stubborn girl was 15 days too late to qualify!

We did not get the full tax credit. Living in NJ the cost of living is so high so though we have a good income it just never seems like enough. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-to-deduct-your-kid-from-your-taxes-this-year#post-718904 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 08:02:18 +0000 Maysprout 718904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: We got the credit and we barely make anything. I think it was called the additional child tax credit or something slightly different but we still got it counted and it helped our refund. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-to-deduct-your-kid-from-your-taxes-this-year#post-718834 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 07:26:22 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 718834@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: interesting!

We don't get the child tax credit though because we make too much. I have no idea how it all works out, my husband does our taxes, I just keep track of our donations. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-to-deduct-your-kid-from-your-taxes-this-year#post-718764 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 06:57:10 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 718764@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: I had no idea that deducing your children was an option! I thought you had kids &amp; got to deduct them, period!</p> <p>To answer your question, yes, we got the child tax credit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-get-to-deduct-your-kid-from-your-taxes-this-year#post-718758 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 06:54:25 +0000 matador84 718758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes!!!
