Residents of Georgia can now claim embryos as dependents on their tax returns. The Georgia Department of Revenue said that it released the tax rules because of the states new ban on abortions. They now see an embryo as a "natural person," and the term is now called personhood status.  The agency said that as of now that it would recognize "any unborn child with a detectable human heartbeat" as eligible

for the state's individual income tax dependent exemption.  That means that the soon to be parents may claim embryos as dependents as early as six weeks gestation. Claiming a dependent on their tax return allows the state of Georgia residents to receive a $3,000 dependent personal exemption for each embryo. So someone this means that someone who is expecting twins could claim $6,000 under the new rule.
