Age. You have to stop claiming your child when she turns 19, unless she goes on to become a full-time student. In that case, you keep claiming the exemption until she's 24, as long as she meets the other qualifying-child tests. After a child reaches age 24, you can only claim her if she's completely and totally disabled.
No, she doesn't count as a dependent until she's born. So if she's born in June 09 the first year you can claim her is next year when you do your 2009 taxes. The baby will count as a dependent in the year he or she is born. If born on Dec 31, 2009, you will have a dependent tax deduction for 2009. And you will need to get social security number to claim the child on your taxes. I had the same question when my first son was on the way.
