No.

Wow, what a bunch of downright wrong answers! And a couple that are at least half correct.

If your girlfriend lived with you ALL YEAR and meets the dependency test (more than 50% of her support provided by you) AND has less than $3,300 in total income for the year you can claim her as a dependent. Your relationship must not violate local laws.

So, for tax year 2006 you cannot claim her since she did not live with you all year. For 2007 if she lives with you all year, receives more than half of her support from you and earns less than $3,300 herself you'll be able to claim her as a dependent.

You are NOT eligible for the EITC regardless of your income as she is not a qualifying dependent for EITC purposes.


nindash
Plain and simple - No.


ninasgramma
No she is not your dependent. An unrelated person must have lived with you for 12 months, plus other qualifications. She does not qualify.


Sam
No, until you and your girl friend ...








get married.

Like the first person said, plain and simple no. The law has recently changed and you have to be married to claim your significant other , nor can you claim her children even if neither of the biological parents claim them, unless you get married. Special circumstances also depend on the state in which you live in.

She is not a dependent unless she is your wife sorry.

You can, but if you get caught, you will be in big trouble.

Since she has only lived with you 8 months the answer is no, you cannot claim her as a dependent. To even have a consideration to qualify as a non-relative she must have lived with you the entire year.

However, to answer your question next year:

She cannot be claimed as a dependent on anyone else tax return (i.e her parents)

Since she is a non-relative she must live with you the entire year, and you must provide more than one-half (greater than 50%) of the support of her, meaning the her actual expenses incurred by her or on behalf of her.

Her gross income must be less than $3,300 (for 06, will be adjusted next year, it is the exemption amount)

If she qualifies for all of the above you would still file as "Single" not "Head of Household". (you only get the single standard deduction). You would just get an additional dependent exemption (which is $3,300 in 2006, and will most likely change next year).

Hope this helps, I am not your tax adviser (you should always check with one before actually claiming her as a dependent), just passing on some useful information. If you married her on December 31, then you get the tax benefits as if you married her on the first day of the year! :)

Yes you can, as logn as she can not be claimed by anyone else. UNLESS there are local laws prohibiting this.

**EDITED** For head of household purposes no, as a dependant yes! No matter...here's your link that says so by the IRS...

koral2800
The government does not recognize unmarried unions and she is not your child nor family member so no, you can not claim her as a dependant.


Meleah J
claim her as what? a dependent or spouse?
File single head of household. It is ultimately the same difference


bethzaida
you can only claim your wife no one Else or children's


twosweet28
No....you are not related or married....and she is of legal age.


jseah114
No. Once she has lived with you for a full calendar year AND you provide at least 50% of her support, then you can claim her as a dependent.

Noope...Marry her!!!

Good luck


Judy1
No. She didn't live with you all year. If she had, and you'd provided more than half of her support, and she didn't make over $3300 last year, then you probably could. There are a few other requirements, but those are the most obvious ones.

Even if next year you can claim her, you still could not file head of household because of having her as a dependent.


Dolphin lover
No, because there has to be some sort of blood or legal connection in order to take her as a dependent.

If you're THAT concerned about it...marry her for tax reasons, but then of course you can't claim her until next year.

no, but if you have kids together you can claim a child only if she don't and if there are kids but they are not yours, you cannot claim them

as long as she lived with you 6 months or more in a year you can claim her


slha1981
I think so if you claim head of household, but I am not sure. I just know someone who has 3 children and is living with her bf and he claims head of household.
