If she lived with you on dec 31 you might but since she didn't you CANNOT! |

No. She is not a qualifying child as she is not your child and she not a qualifying relative as she did not live with you all 12 months. |

You have to prove she was in your haouse for the entire year and you payed over half the support.. that is if he doesnt claim her.. if he does and you do also you will have to prove that in court.It is really too much trouble to go through.But as long as you can prove this its legal.you can claim anybody....as long as you can back it up. |

No, you can't. Even if you meet all the other tests, since she didn't live in your home for the entire year, you are not eligible to claim her no matter what anyone else does or doesn't do. |

Better talk to a tax lawyer before you commit tax fraud. |

You can't both claim her. Period. I don't it's worth your time and legal $$ if he plans to claim her. |

You cannot claim a child that you are not related to unless it is legally placed in your care such as a foster child, or you have adopted the child.
Support for the child is not a factor in determining who can claim the child. This changed in 2005 so I predict you will get the usual stream of wrong answers. |

You can claim her as long as he doesn't. If he claims her as well as you, "you" are the one who will be in trouble, not him. It's his daughter. |

I think you CAN, IF you paid at least half her support for the year. It could get complicated if somebody else claims the same SS number as a dependent, but you can and must respond to any letters from the IRS. |

Sounds to me like you should be able to claim her.
You certainly have enough substantive evidence that
you could just go ahead and claim her without fear of
any charges of impropriety.. |

Unless you can prove that you contributed at least 50 percent of her support I don't think you can...I really don't think you can anyway...it is even hard for grandparents who have grandchildren living with them to be able to prove support....talk to a tax man...but don't do anything stupid with the irs...they haunt you for years..... |

YES, you can but ONLY if the Mother and Father agree not to claim her on their taxes.
Get this in writing and use an accountant, because if more than one person claims her, you will be the one to get in trouble with the IRS. |
