caitybeth3 | Can my dad claim me as a dependent? |
I am 20 years old. I do not live with my dad and have not lived with him since 2005. I have a full time job, and pay all my own bills (car payment, insurance, etc.) He does not gove me money to live on. BUT... I go to school part time, usually just one or two classes, at night or online at the local community college. So my tuition averages abount $300.00 a semester. My father does pay for this. Can he claim me as a dependednt even though I pay for EVERYTING else but school. |

No. You would not meet the dependency test for your father. Since you are over the age of 19 and not a full time student, you are automatically no longer a dependent.
Read the section for "Qualifying Child" at the below link from the IRS and it will detail whether or not you are a qualifying child for your father, but based on your facts...no. |

From the information you provided it would appear that you pay more than half of your own support. If that is the case your father can not claim you. You are also not his qualified child on the bases of your age. Full time students between ages 19 and 24 can be claimed if they meet the other requirements which you appear not to do. |

No.
Legally, you are an independent tax paying citizen. Congratulations!
Just inform him that you will be filing your 1040 this year, and claiming yourself as a deduction. If he claims you as a dependent, it will be disallowed, and he will owe taxes and interest. |

Legally you father can claim you as a dependent if he provides more than 50 percent of your upkeep, which does not seem to be the case. Since you have income and file your own tax return and claim yourself as a dependent, it appears that your father cannot do so. Without ALL the facts, you should not rely on this forum. See a tax professional to determine if there is some way for your father to claim you instead of yourself, if that will reduce the overall tax burden. |

It sounds like your dad can not claim you. I recommend you file your own return as early as possible so you can "stake your claim" on the exemption for you. |

No, he can not claim you as a dependent! You are over 18, work , and do not live with him. You claim yourself when you file. Eventually if he is claiming you the IRS will discover it and he will be in trouble!!!! Giving you $300 for school is awesome , but it is a gift to you. He can claim that as gift or charity claim I believe. He would have to check with the person doing his taxes. |

You don't live with him, and he doesn't pay more than half of your living expenses, so there would be no basis for him to claim you as his dependent. You're not dependent on him.
If you were to move in with him, it would be a different story. He could claim you until you're 24, but you have to be in school full time. |

Griffin is correct. To add to his answer, you also do not meet the requirements to be a qualifying relative for your father. Since you do not meet the rules for either a qualifying child or a qualifying relative, he cannot claim you.
Many people mistakenly believe that parents can automatically claim their children as long as they are in school. That is incorrect. |
