A newly proposed Ohio bill would allow parents to claim miscarried fetuses as dependents on state income taxes, but it explicitly excludes aborted fetuses.
State Reps. Gary Click and Roy Klopfenstein, who are both Republicans, introduced House Bill 87, known as the Strategic Tax Options for Raising Kids (STORK) Act, which would permit Ohioans to claim embryos or fetuses conceived during the taxable year as dependents, starting in 2026, WCMH reported.
