chaispicetea | I'm a single mother working part-time, but live with my partner, could he claim us? |
I'm only going to make about 15grand this year, He'll make about 39grand. Is it okay for him to claim my daughter and I on his income tax return next year? What about on his w-4 right now? Would he be able to get the earned income credit?
My other thought was, what if he claimed me and I claimed my daughter? Would that be good or not as good as if he claims us both?
Additional Details
this is my idea, not his. I was hoping he could claim us so we could get even more money than with me claiming us. he's not trying to screw me over, i'm trying to see what would be to our best financial advantage. these are great answers. thanks everyone! |

It is not possible for your partner to claim you or your child. You make too much money to be his dependent, and the child is not related to him, even though he may provide support for the child.
The rules regarding this changed in 2005. Prior to 2005, it may have been possible for him to claim your child.
The good news is that you may be able to get a nice refund. You should file as single with the dependent child. You may qualify for the Child Tax Credit, Additional Child Tax Credit, and the Earned Income Credit. In fact, your income puts you at the very top of the Earned Income Credit. This is a better deal for your family than having him claim your child (which of course isn't posssible).
Your partner has no dependents. He must file as single assuming he is not married. His W-4 should show 0 or 1 allowances. |

To claim you or your daughter there has to be a legal relationship such as marriage or the biological father. Sorry but he cant claim friends. |

Judy, is correct as usual.
You make to much for him to claim you and, if your daughter is not his (biologically or through adoption), he can not claim her either. |

No, he can't claim either of you. You can claim your daughter, and get earned income credit, but he can't unless he is her biological father.
Neither of you would be eligible to file as head of household - he doesn't have an eligible dependent, and if he makes over twice what you do, you'd have a hard time proving that you provide over half of the household expenses.
He should have single - 1 or 0 on his W-4. He is not eligible for EIC.
"Lovely" is way off - first of all, you are probably NOT common law married - it takes a lot more than just living together - many states do not even have common law marriage any more. And secondly, if you ARE common law married, he can't file as head of household although you could file a joint return - but don't do that unless you are actually married, common law or formally in a ceremony. |

Well Judy is almost right. Close enough for government work.
No there doesn't have to actually be a blood relationship to claim someone. But, in this case it doesn't apply.
Other than that Judy is right. |

is he your daughters father? If so he could claim her as a dependent. He can't claim you, as you make too much money. I've attached information about dependents. |

Do not let him claim you & your daughter...you should file for yourself & claim your daughter...you will get a very descent amount back because you have a child & you made less that 22,000 in the year...your boyfriend may be suggesting that he claim you guys for his own personal benefit....he makes over 30,000 & he may owe back taxes...so I think that's what he's trying to avoid....I'm sorry if I'm coming out a bit rude but I also have a partner and I would never let a man who I'm not married to claim me and/or my child on their taxes..get your money girl....you & your daughter deserve it.....it's your money.... |

He should claim head of household with 2 dependents. Just realize in doing this you are common law married. HE can only claim you if you are married. But, he can get the earned income credit for your daughter but if I were you I would file single and let him claim your daughter. In doing this if you have been claiming her on your w-4 you will more than likely only get back some of what they have deducted. But, whoever has worked more should claim her. |
