To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to allow the child tax credit with respect to stillbirths.

This bill would change the rules for the child tax credit to include stillborn babies. Currently, parents can get a tax credit of up to $2,000 for each qualifying child. Under this bill, a stillborn child would count as a qualifying child if the pregnancy lasted 20 weeks or more and the baby died in the womb before delivery.
