Filing status and being claimed as a dependent are not the same thing. You might have to consult a tax advisor.
Generally, if your mother contributed more than 50 % of your support for the year, then you could be claimed as a dependent on her return. This would not change your married status as of December 31st. You and your husband can still file a joint return, just be careful who takes the exemption.
As I said, maybe you should speak with a tax professional.
Good luck. |

you are, when you got married then it became a joint partnership with your hubby he gets to claim you on your joint return, your mom can be penalized for claiming you because you are over 18 and your married, your no longer her responsibility |

I do not think she can, being as you are married and should be filing a joint tax return with your husband.
so you are correct. |

No, even if you got married on December 31, you are considered married for that tax year, you should be filing a joint return with your husband for the best tax return. |

she can claim your school credits if she pays for your school but she can not claim you as a dependent. |

Being a full time student kicks out the 19 yr. old rules to start. How much money did you make? and hubby? She could possibly be able to claim you. You are her child, under 24 and student,you lived with her over half the year, but can she meet the support test, did she support you? These thingas are what will determine it. If you file with hubby he doesn't claim you , it is a joint return even if he is the only one with income. |

even if you got married december31, 2008 you still have to file your taxes as married for the whole year. Your mom cant claim you. |

I think you are right but why don't you just bite the bullet and download a copy of the 1040 instruction book. It's all in there. |

technically your mother CAN claim you since you were a dependent of her last year. Your husband can also claim you but it's just something that you, your husband and your mother have to sit down and figure out which you'd prefer. I think if your mother claims you then she should give you some of the money that she gets for claiming you, that's what my mother and i did. |

It would seem that your mother cannot claim you because you did not live with her for the entire year. It must be the entire 12 months. I'm not 100% sure, so I have included a link to the IRS website that has the rules listed.
By the way, your husband will not claim you as a "dependent". A spouse cannot be a dependent. But you can file jointly and reap the benefits. |

check out irs.gov. I think Mom has more time with you. Practically, did your hubby do anything to support you financially? I think Mom wins on time and $. My guess. |
