Claiming my wife as dependent by me and her mother?
I got married to my wife on 10/12/2008. She was living with her Mom up to 10/11/2008. Her mom is supporting her. My wife was working and she made 10k in 2008. My question is:

1- I am going to file Jointly (me & my wife) for my tax return for the year of 2008, so can her mom claim her too as dependent because my wife lived with her mom till October 11, 2008?

If the answer is yes, does this will affect our tax return (me & my wife) for this year?

2- Can i claim my parents who i was supporting them for the whole year, but they live overseas. My parents has green card and social security number?

Thanks,

Only one person can claim you wife for the year ~ I'd talk to your wife and mother-in-law and make a decision there.

Depending upon the rules in where you live exactly ~ you might be able to claim the support of your parents. Some rules have to have them living with you however. Depends upon where you are in the world

No, your wife's mother cannot claim your wife as her dependent.

2- Can i claim my parents who i was supporting them for the whole year, but they live overseas. My parents has green card and social security number?

Only if they are residents of Canada or Mexico, or in the US military. Otherwise, no.

First, since your wife had income you can not claim her as a dependent; however, you can file jointly and claim two exemptions...this also means her income is included on your joint return. And, you have to have her consent and signature to legally file this way.

Second, unless she is under 24 years old and a full time student your Mother-in-law can not legally claim her as a dependent regardless of what the two of you decide to do (because of her income). The only way you can file a joint return and her mother claim her is if neither you nor your spouse have any tax liability and are only filing to receive a refund. And, of course she would have to qualify as her dependent to begin with.

But, this isn't the case...or at least according to your second question.


Now, to the second question. From the information given I would have to guess no. You stated they lived overseas...Canada and Mexico aren't overseas. They would have had to lived at least part of the year in either of those two countries or the US or one of it's possessions. It is possible that by overseas you mean a US possession; but, most people do not refer to them in this manner.

Hope this helps.

If you were filing solely to get a refund then her parents may have been able to claim her but she made too much money for that. You can only claim your parents if they live in Mexico or Canada. If there are children involved. EIC. All that would disqualify her parents from claiming her.

You are married so you can file only are married filing jointly or married filing separately.
If you file MFJ, her mother can not claim her dependent if you have taxable income on joint return.
Read about the requirements to claim a dependent: http://taxipay.blogspot.com/2008/03/requirements-for-claiming-dependent.html

If you file a joint return, your wife's mom can't claim her.

You might be able to claim your parents, if each of them had income less than the equivalent of $3500 US for the year and you can show that you provided over half of their support.

Your wife's exemption can be claimed only once. If you and your wife choose to file jointly, your Mother in Law can NOT claim her.

Your parents live overseas. Are their green cards still active such that they are US citizens or resident aliens? If yes, what kind of income do they have? If they are receiving SSA benefits, can you prove you paid for more than half of their support?


Robeo
You can answer your own question(s)
Only one person can claim one person.
Who supported who for seven months ?
Your wife and you can file joint but --who supported
and who is claiming who ? Where did she live ?
Your parents--- who is claiming ?
Who does all of this benefit the most ??
In a dispute --prove it.

I believe for you to claim anyone they have to be living with you in the home.

As far as your wife is concerned, pretty much if you claim her, then your mother in law can't. If your mother in law claims her, then you can't claim your wife. If I were you, I'd beat your mother in law to the punch and then in casual conversation say you filed taxes and you claimed your wife or you filed jointly, whatever you feel comfortable saying...
