If you pay the majority of his expenses (medical, food, clothing, education) then yes.
Dependant as defined by the IRS:
"A person, other than the taxpayer or the taxpayer's spouse, for whom an exemption (defined later) can be claimed. To be your dependent, a person must be your qualifying child or qualifying relative (both defined later). For more information, see Exemptions for Dependents in Publication 501."
Qualifying child:
"To be your dependent (defined earlier), a person must be either your qualifying child or your qualifying relative (defined next). Generally, a person is your qualifying child if that person:
Is your child, stepchild, foster child, brother, sister, stepbrother, stepsister, or a descendant of any of them,
Lived with you for more than half of the year,
Did not provide more than half of his or her own support for the year, and
Was under age 19 at the end of the year (or was under age 24 at the end of the year and a student, or was any age and permanently and totally disabled).
For details, see Exemptions for Dependents in Publication 501. "
Qualifying relative:
"To be your dependent (defined earlier), a person must be either your qualifying child (defined earlier) or your qualifying relative. Generally, a person is your qualifying relative if that person:
Lives with or is related to you,
Does not have $3,200 or more of gross (total) income,
Is supported (generally more than 50%) by you, and
Is neither your qualifying child nor the qualifying child of anyone else.

Yes. If you have legal custody and pay over half his support.
Um, half his support, that is the more important part.
In that case, yeah, yeah, you can claim him as a dependent. |
