I had a crash course in tax and now I have a part time job preparing tax for Jackson Hewitt in one of those little shower-curtained kiosks in a North Carolina Walmart.
Someone just had an interesting question:
If I was pregnant in 2014 (which she was - gave birth in January) can I claim my unborn as a dependent?
Me: No.
Her: According to the state, my unborn son is a person, and has personhood*, why isn't this person allowed to be claimed for taxes?
Me: Good question.
Her: It seems incongruent.
Me: That it does. But, apart from writing your state senator or the state's version of the IRS, and ask them why...
So...uh....can explain this?
I googled, but I can't find a true answer, which means once you google it, you'll find it right away.
*(upon Googling [I can't cut and paste on this work computer] there is "legal recognition at every stage of gestation" Ethan's Law if you want to google.)
