SAVANNAH, Georgia (LifeSiteNews) – New legislation in Georgia allows for unborn babies to be considered dependents on state taxes, as the state declares unborn babies to be “natural persons.”
On August 1, the state’s Department of Revenue announced that residents filing their 2022 tax returns who are parents to unborn babies with detectable heartbeats are eligible for a dependent personal exemption in the amount of $3,000.
The statement reads:
In light of the June 24, 2022, U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization and the July 20, 2022, 11th Circuit Court of Appeals ruling in Sistersong v. Kemp, the Department will recognize any unborn child with a detectable human heartbeat (…) as eligible for the Georgia individual income tax dependent exemption.
Taxpayers are expected to provide “relevant medical records or other supporting documentation.” The department was unclear as to the benefit if the unborn baby dies before being brought to term.
