Taxpayer asks:
My daughter turned 17 on Christmas Day. Can we get the extra rebate for her?
Taxgirl says:
Sorry, no. To claim the child credit for the rebate, your child must be under the age of 17 as of the end of the tax year (December 31).
But what a cool birth date!
Like any good lawyer, I need to add a disclaimer: Unfortunately, it is impossible to give comprehensive tax advice over the internet, no matter how well researched or written. Before relying on any information given on this site, contact a tax professional to discuss your particular situation.
Have a question? Ask the taxgirl!
