Whew, then I could never be an auditor.

The TIN may not make the person legitimate, but it does make
the exemption legal.

Qualifying child (QC) rule has the 1. age requirement, 2.
relationship requirement, 3. residence requirement and 4.
not be self-supporting requirement. In addition, the QC
must still meet the 5. citizen/resident test and the 6.
joint return test. Finally, the QC must have a 7. TIN.

Default Uniform Definition of A Qualifying Child for Dependent Exemptions

Am I only the one who has noticed that what used to be 6
rules for claiming a dependent is now either 6 or 7
depending upon whether one is dealing with a qualifying
relative or a qualifying child?

(This is a hidden test question... Hoorahs to those who can
find the 7 tests!)
