>Special Rule for First-Year Qualifying Children
Beginning in 2023, a taxpayer is permitted an exemption of $3,000 for a child who qualifies for
the first time for the extra exemption for certain qualifying children. This $3,000 is the exemption
instead of the $1,500 exemption available.

Research direction

Read the linked Indiana Department of Revenue document, especially page 4, and locate the existing Indiana exemption logic in the repository. Confirm how first-time qualifying children are represented and how the 2023 threshold is handled; done means the documented $3,000 exemption applies instead of $1,500 for qualifying cases.
