The kid was born in 22 so there's a deduction for 22. There's no deduction for unborn babies. The government does not consider the unborn a person. If the baby is born in any part of a year, a deduction can he made for that yearLike I said..all nuanced, Then why does one get to claim a unborn as a dependent for a full calendar year when only the birth happens within 1 minute of the next year?
You want to say that there is no deductions for that? Make it prorated then.
If we’re looking at it practically, the expenses don’t automatically go from zero to maximum the second a baby is born. Pregnancy has expenses, people prepare ahead of the birth…The kid was born in 22 so there's a deduction for 22. There's no deduction for unborn babies.

I wonder what percentage are able to do so? You are assuming everyone is willing and able, not the case. Some people have kids just to collect the check and sit at home all year..
Well, I’d say a huge percentage prepare to varying degrees and within their means. Very few people bring a baby home to no wardrobe, no diapers, no way to feed them, no bedding situation, no entertainment, ect.I wonder what percentage are able to do so?
