If a dependant is alive for 3 days out of a year can you still claim them on your tax return?

Yes-plain and simple. As long as the person was alive by your state's standards (strange as it may seem, state law determines that), that individual can be considered as a dependent if he/she meets all other dependency tests.

As long it was a live birth, the time is not an issue. Since the IRS requires a Social Security number for each dependent, this child will not have one. Social Security numbers are applied for from the hospital at birth now. IRS in this case requires you to list the name of the child, relationship (son/daughter) and time that the child lived with you which would be less than six months. In the Social Security section you would write "deceased". When you send in the tax return you have to attach a copy of the Death Certificate to the return. You can not file this type of return via electronic filing.


tadopoly@sbcglobal.net
As long as the person would otherwise qualify as your dependant and they lived with you the entire time they were alive, then yes they are considered a dependant even if it was only 1 day during the year.

Yes you can as long as for the time they're alive they meet the requirements for being a dependent.

That's a question better suited to a tax accountant or the IRS. You'll get all sorts of answers here - but do you know the qualifications of the people that reply?


breaker_1020
yes. any child born before January first or death occurs after January first (w/in that tax year), can be claimed on tax return. Even if it is only by a few hours. State laws on the matter may very, but Federal law does not (and that's usually where you get the most return-earned income tax credit if low income, etc.)

See page 28 of this (IRS Pub 17) http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p17.pdf If the child otherwis qualified as your dependant, the answer is yes.

I would check with a tax specialist. If a person dies on January 3rd, I believe you can claim them as a dependent. If a baby is born and lives only three days, I don't think you can, but then again, if you did and could provide a birth certificate, it would fall into a gray area, especially if you did not mention anything about the death. You just couldn't claim them the following year.
