Naty | Does an unemployed person fill out taxes, can my fiance put my son as a dependant on his taxes papers? |

Those are two different questions, so here are my two answers:
1. Unemployment benefits that you receive from the state are taxable by the IRS, so in general you would file a tax return. That said, if you aren't sure if you need to file a return, find out from the IRS Form 1040 instructions. (web address 2 below) It's page 12.
2. No, your fiance may not claim your son as his dependent. The reason is, the IRS requires a dependent child to be your "Son, daughter, stepchild, foster child, brother, sister, stepbrother, stepsister, or a descendant of any of them (for example, your grandchild, niece, or nephew)." However, if your fiance becomes your husband before Dec. 31st, then your child is at least a qualifying child, because he's then your husband's stepchild. However, there are other requirements to actually claiming someone as a dependent. You can read about those on page 19 of the Form 1040 instructions. |

he can only claim your son if he can prove that he lives with him and he contributed more than 50% of his support for the past year. |

Consult with a qualified tax advisor. The rules have changed quite a bit in this area, effective for the 2006 tax year. There are a number of issues at stake and you need to be sure that you get them all right -- filing status, exemptions, etc.
(All of the above answers are possibly wrong, but without qualified tax advice you can't be sure.) |

In general, if you made taxable income, you should file a tax return. Unemployment compensation is taxable. It is true that if you make under a certain amount in a given year you are not required to file a tax return (see page 12 of this document: http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i1040gi.pdf). However, that amount is very low (eg, $8,450 for a single individual under the age of 65). Also, if you had any taxes withheld you should file even if you are not required to in order to get your refund. You may also get earned income credit or child tax credit, which you won't get if you don't file.
Regarding your son, if he lived with your fiance and he/she provided more than 50% of his support, then he can be her dependent for Federal purposes (see page 20 of above document). Keep in mind, though, that if your fiance claims him, you cannot. I can't speak for your state as far as dependency. Each state has it's own rules and you should refer to the state web site for more assistance. |

The only reason for a unemployed person to fill out taxes is if he made over the minimum amount during the year or will receive a refund. A finance can't put your son down unless he is his relative. If he is the father you better consult a tax expert. |

Depends on what state you are in, usally if you make under $8000 a year you are exempt.
No your fiance can not claim your son. He can only be claimed once, you or the boys father. Unless he adopted the boy. |

1> If you received unemployment compensation or any other income, then yes you must fill out tax returns.
2> Unless it is his son too, then no, until you are married he cannot use him as a deduction. |

I think it is Tax FRAUD if your fiance puts your son as a dependent on his taxes! |
