according to the irs you can only claim them that year: Death or birth of child. A child who was born or died during the year is treated as having lived with you all year if your home was the child's home the entire time he or she was alive during the year. The same is true if the child lived with you all year except for any required hospital stay following birth. From IRS what qualifies as a dependent http://www.irs.gov/publications/p501/ar02.html#d0e3591
You might be able to claim medical expenses if you are still paying them after the year but why would anyone think you would still be able to claim a dependent that has deceased? |

No, just the year of death. Condolences on the loss of your son.
If a spouse dies, but the survivor still has a child living at home who is a dependent, then there's a special filing status, surviving spouse, that's available for another couple years. |

Only the year he died and then only if he meets the standard requirements for a dependent. |

Only the year in which he died. The rest are at your own risk. |

Only for the tax year that they died during. If they died in 2005, for instance, you cannot claim them this year. |

You know who can give you a definite answer on that the IRS.I believe it is only the year after he passed away.You cannot claim someone that is not living.If he died this year you could only claim him on this coming years taxes. |

To claim him even the year he died wouldnt you have had to took care of him at least 6 months out of the year. That's what I though. |
