I had a baby a few weeks ago. Can I claim the whole Child Tax Credit in my taxes? For some reason, my CPA told me that I’ll only get around $200 since my baby was born on the last month of this year.
Claiming full child tax credit on my taxes for baby born in December 2025.

Your CPA is wrong. A child born in December is considered to have lived with you all year, and you get the full child tax credit.
What’s your income level? It does begin to phase out at higher levels of income, but your baby being born in December will have no affect on it.
Oh God, I hope your “CPA” isn’t really a CPA.
Yes. You can.
