Then they should count as dependents, grant the parents tax breaks, be eligible for social benefits, receive child support payments, be counted as passengers when in mom driving in HOV lanes, etc.
Holy shit storing embryos frozen and counting them as dependants would be an actual life hack
Pretty sure that’s expensive as hell
So are actual children.
That's why I freeze dried mine and keep them in the glove compartment for use in the HOV lane.
11k to 15k starting cost plus 400 to 600 a year.
So when talking about thousands of dollars of tax credit it might have a good ROI. The initial cost could probably be lower if the actual quality doesn't matter to you.
I was under the impression the yearly fee was much higher, but maybe I was co flaring it with the cycle cost of IVF which can reach 30k.
We almost got this with Alabama 2023 bill HB182 which would grant unborn children as dependents on taxes. The bill didn't pass. These people want children to count only when dolling out punishments.
