You can generally claim yourself as a dependent on your own tax return, unless someone else is claiming you. For your tax return, you and your husband are allowed one exemption each, totalling two exemption. |

You do not claim yourself as a dependent. You claim yourself as an exemption. |

It's actually called an exemption. Your husband is also an exemption. Dependents are usually people like children.
Remember, words have very specific meanings when it comes to law. |

You are not claiming yourself as a dependant, you are claiming an exemption for yourself. A dependant is someone other than yourself that you support and take care of.
If you and your husband are filing jointly you both get an exemption and if you have children they are claimed as a dependant and you claim an exemption for each child |

No, you don't claim yourself as a dependent on your own return. But as long as you are not claimed as a dependent by someone else, then you get an exemption for yourself for $3300, so it works out the same financially as it would to have a dependent. The difference is in wording - "dependent" means somebody other than yourself, exemption is the money you get to subtract from your income before figuring your taxes. |

At the top of the form it asks you to check a box for yourself, and one for your spouse if filing jointly, then ask you to write the total number of boxes checked, so I say yes. Not a dependent, but a deduction. |

Same with the number of exemptions you claim for taxes to be withheld from your pay. He can file M2 with his employer and so you can you. As long as you do not end up owing IRSA money at the end of the year you can claim even more

Of course you are your own dependent. As long as no one else can claim you like your parents.
My son lives with us and we support him. So when he files his taxes he can't claim himself as an exemption because we do. He's 16. |

He can file Single or he can file Married Head of Household. Of course that is for the two of you. Doesn't matter who is actually the head. When you start listing the number of deductions he will list 2. One for him and one for you, and so on for the numbers of other dependants - usually children. It is fairly self-explanatory on the form.
Same with the number of exemptions you claim for taxes to be withheld from your pay. He can file M2 with his employer and so you can you. As long as you do not end up owing IRSA money at the end of the year you can claim even more. I used to claim M7 for our family of 5. Because I itemized I received money back. Think of this. If you both file taxes and get back $4,000 every year, raise your exemptions to you only get back a few hundred. That puts more money in your pocket every month and instead of letting IRS use your money.
Go to www.irs.gov and look under Frequently Asked Questions. |

If you claim yourself you claim one dependent. So, yeah you can. Just don't claim yourself, then claim yourself again as a dependent as if you were your own kid. You just claim one for you, and one for each additional dependent other than yourself. (Wow I can't believe I'm trying to explain this) |

You get a personal exemption for yourself if you are not claimed as a dependent by another taxpayer. You do NOT "claim" yourself as a "dependent" however.
Any website that says you can claim yourself as a dependent should NOT be trusted. The information is OBVIOUSLY posted by someone who has NO CLUE about US tax law or terminology! |

Of course you can! So long as you're not declared as a dependent by anyone else.
Oh, and to the people that are giving me a bad rating- it's completely true. When you take a personal exemption you are, in the eyes of the law, claiming self-dependency. |
