HOH
Does finance or boyfriend meet the qualifed dependent test when I am filing Head of Household?

Additional Details
Seems to me a boyfriend meet the requirement for "qualifed relative" test but not the "qualifed person" under HOH test. But why? and if I am being audited by FTB by claiming my boyfriend as a "qualifed person", and turns out he's not, what do I need to do next? Thanks!

While you might be able to claim a boyfriend or girlfriend as a dependent if they lived with you all year and had no more that the personal exemption amount for income for the year ($3,400 for 2007) you CANNOT file as Head of Household based upon their dependency status. That's reserved for close family relations only such as children, siblings and parents.

Why is it that way? Pretty simple really: It's the law!

If you're being audited for that, get your checkbook out as your return will be corrected and your tax will be recalculated, plus penalties and interest for late payment.


Mathew
Your boyfriend does not qualify as a dependent for HOH status. If challenged you will be required to recalculate you return (they will do it for you) an pay back any benefit from the HOH. If the FTB has discovered this the Feds will soon and you might wish to amend that return to reduce the penalty and interest. As for the why you would need to ask congress they make the rules which include the fact that you could not use your boyfriends children for HOH even if they lived with you full time.

You might be able to claim him as a dependent as a qualifying relative, but he definitely does NOT qualify you to file as head of household. The IRS has a specific list of relationships that do, and all must be closely related by blood or marriage - an unrelated dependent does NOT qualify, so you can't file as head of household. Expect that your filing that way will be disallowed, and you will have to pay back any taxes you saved by filing head of household illegally, plus interest and possible penalties.


jonas_grant
No. Guess that's why you're being audited. YOu need to get a new BF and get out the checkbook.


Wayne Z
A boyfriend does not qualify a girlfriend to be Head of Household and likewise, the reverse is true.


You ask, I answer

if you are filing HOH, then you need to find a new guy. sugar momma, huh?

file separately. you aren't married yet.

Unless you marry your boyfriend, he's not a relative at all, and therefore can't qualify for you filing as Head of Household, and if you do marry him, then you would file as married filing jointly. As for what to do if the FTB audits you, just get ready to write out a check for whatever amount the FTB says that you in additional taxes, penalties, and interest after the audit is over, and they disallow your filing as Head of Household status.
