Miss Sims | Can you claim a non-working spouse as a dependant on you taxes? |
My husband provided all of the income this year since I was pregnant and taking care of our baby. Can a wife be considered a dependant? I've heard that a wife can not be a dependant. Please Answer |

yes, your spouse counts as one of your dependents. |

you're not a "dependent", you're a spouse - you should file married - jointly and with your baby, you will have 3 personal exemptions - 2 for Husb & wife, one for dependent child |

You and your husband file jointly on your tax return and claim two exemptions - one for you, one for him - in boxes 6a and 6b. Then you add the number of children you are claiming as dependents. The total is your total number of exemptions. Since it sounds like you only have one kid with one on the way, you would have a total of three exemptions for 2007 in box 6d.
3 times $3,400 = $10,20 as the amount that goes on line 42 of the 1040 tax return for 2007.
Next year, after your baby is born, on your 2008 return you would have 4 exemptions. |

what is confusing everybody - is you using the term "dependant" .. actually- on the taxes you would be called an Exemption. a dependent is the kids pretty much -
If the question is: Can he use you on his taxes - the answer is YES - you will file jointly - married. and, also put the baby down!! so, your exemptions will be 2 and dependent you will have 1. (baby). if thats everybody in your family.... you don't have to be working in order for him to put you down on his taxes
hope this explains it. |

A spouse is never a dependent - but that's more a definition of the terminology, not of the tax benefit. Even though you didn't have income this year, you can still file a joint return, and you will get an exemption for each of you. |

According to the IRS, the answer is no - a nonworking spouse does not qualify as a dependent, unless they are unable to care for themselves. From the IRS site:
Dependent defined. A dependent is a person, other than you or your spouse, for whom you can claim an exemption. To be your dependent, a person must be your qualifying child (or your qualifying relative).
Qualifying child. To be your qualifying child, a child must live with you for more than half the year and meet other requirements.
Physically or mentally not able to care for oneself. Persons who cannot dress, clean, or feed themselves because of physical or mental problems are considered not able to care for themselves. Also, persons who must have constant attention to prevent them from injuring themselves or others are considered not able to care for themselves.
More information. For more information about who is a dependent or a qualifying child, see Publication 501. |

Yes and don't forget to claim head of household also. This also gives you a much larger return. |
