Can I claim my married brother on my tax return?
My brother is 27, and I have financially supported him for the entire year. He made no money last year. I paid his rent for the majority of the year, although for the last 2 months he has lived with a friend rent free. During this time I still paid for all his food, entertainment, car insurance, phone bill, etc. I know that based only on this, I should be able to claim him. The only thing I'm worried about is that he is still legally married even though they haven't lived together or even really interacted in about 5 years. She will file her taxes as married, filing separately. So, I am wondering if I can I still claim him as a dependent?

call irs at 1 800 829 1040 to find out for sure


ponek99
nope sorry


Landlord
You only could if he lived in your house. Paying his rent is a gift, but not a tax deduction.


bostonianinmo
No, sorry, you can not. He would have had to live with you all year for you to claim him.

Six Criteria for Qualifying Relatives
To be claimed as a qualifying relative, the person must meet all of the following criteria:
Not a qualifying child - The dependent cannot be a qualifying child of another taxpayer.

Gross Income – The dependent earns less than the personal exemption amount during the year. For 2007, this means the dependent earns less than $3,400.

Total Support – You provide more than half of the dependent's total support during the year.

Relationship – You are related to the dependent in certain ways.

Joint Return – If the dependent is married, the dependent cannot file a joint return with his or her spouse.


♥♥The Queen Has Spoken♥♥
Sorry. Unless your brother was disabled before he turned either 18 or 25, not sure which you can't claim him as a dependent.

Try some tough love and stop supporting him. He should stand on his own two feet.

No. All that you paid him or for him amounts to gift money on your part. No deduction. Time to cut the strings and let him support himself.
