What happens to your taxes when you have a child
Becoming a parent brings many changes to your life, including your tax return. If you’re single, you might file your taxes as head of household and take advantage of lower rates. In addition, the tax code has several tax breaks for new parents, including the child tax credit, a larger earned income tax credit and a credit for dependent care expenses. To claim them, your child needs a tax identification number or, in cases like the earned income tax credit, a Social Security number.
