First baby born 2006 - canada

Here's an interesting question:

If you have twins, and one is born December 31st 2005 before midnigt, and the other is born after midnight (January 1st 2006) do they still have the same birthday - or is one December 31st 2005 and the other January 1st 2006?

And since you get the tax credit for the child born before dec 31st at midnight, do you get the writeoff for both kids since they're twins, or do you only get the writeoff for both the following year?



I wonder if that's ever happened....

PrairieMom replied: I would hope the Dr. would fudge the numbers a little if it was that close. It would be strange to have twins with different birthdays tho! if it happend to me, I would celebrate their birthdays on different days just to be difficult!

MyBlueEyedBabies replied: If they were born on different days then they have different b-days. YOu would also claim one on your tax return and then get to claim the other one a year longer.

That is what I was thinking!

My2Beauties replied: That would honestly suck!

MyBrownEyedBoy replied: Yes, it would suck. Our local New Year's Baby was born at 0336 on 1/1/06.

My3LilMonkeys replied: I think it would be neat to have twins with 2 different birthdays! I am odd though...

CantWait replied: That's funny, twins with different birthdays. Congrats to the proud parents, 2 different birthday parties, those are a couple lucky babies.

mom21kid2dogs replied: When I was very young I had friends who were twins with different birthdays. One was born 20 minutes after the other~about 10 minutes into the next day. They always celebrated their birthday on the older one's birthday, IIRC.

My2Beauties replied:
OK dumb question - really dumb

What does IIRC mean?

MamaJAM replied: I woudl assume you would get the tax credit for the years they were born...even though they'd be twins - their birthdays would still be, technically, in different years.
DH and I have always said we'd love to have twins with different b-days (and I always said if I had been due around NYE I'd try and convince my doc to deliver them in the different years). I also would have hoped to deliver twins on different days any time of the year - just so they each had their own b-day.
Then again -- looks who's talking...I have 2 kids born in different years who share a b-day. Though I didn't do that by choice.

MM'sMama replied:
Wow that is really neat!

Hmm that is a good question, that would be weird I don't know what to think about that one.

What do the first baby/babies of the New Year get where everyone is from? In CO they get a $100 gift basket. I can remember when they got WAY more.

3_call_me_mama replied: I believe that IIRC is IF I Remember Correctly. Am I right ?>
