If he pays for the majority of their care and no one else claims them he sure can. If you give him all the info he needs to do so. |

I assume that you are living with your husband and the 2 children. You'll generally get the most benefit by filing a joint return with your husband. You will claim both of the children on that joint return.
You can claim your children on a joint return as long as they lived with you for more than half of the year and they did not provide more than half of their own support and are under age 19 or under age 24 if they are full-time students. |

Are you saying that they are your kids, not his biologically, but you are now married to him? Marrying you makes him their stepfather, which for tax purposes is the same as a biological parent, so yes, he can claim them. If you aren't married but are living together, then no he can't.
If you are married and living together, why aren't you filing a joint return? It would almost surely save you some tax money, maybe just a little, maybe a lot. Married filing separately, your only other legal option, has the worst tax rates and rules. You can file a joint return even if all the income is his. You'd claim the kids together on the joint return. |

If you are married, your children are your spouse's stepchildren and have the same status for tax purposes as his "own" children.
So if the children otherwise qualify as his dependents, he can claim them as dependent children.
However, since you do live together, you will receive far more benefit by filing a joint return. If he files a separate return, even though he may be able to claim the children, he will not get the deductions and credits available to joint filers. |

Are you living with him??? You don't say. Why don't you check this information with your local tax department?? That would be the safest!!! |

Yes. If he's supporting them, he can claim them. |
