A friend who has an accounting background once joked that New Year's Eve babies are the best and kids born on New Year's Day are pretty much a waste, from a tax standpoint. (That being because a child born on Dec. 31 can be claimed as a dependent for the entire year.)
And now it seems there's evidence, according to The New York Times, that the tax-savvy are planning their procreation to take advantage of this.
I'm not really surprised by this or that interested, I just wanted an excuse to point out this accompanying chart, which shows that my birthday is the 100th most common from 1973-99. (And yes, that means I have the worst half-birthday ever!)
