Yes it is legal. There is a paper that you can get from the IRS that the mother will sign to allow you to claim him. I have to get my exwife to sign one every year, but can't remember the name of the form. |

What, what, what??
 |
Yes, you can claim him...he cannot be claimed in more than one household
Call the IRS to make sure, and to make sure you do it correctly. |

He has to live with you for over six months of the year to be claimed and depending on how old he is a full time student. |

Yes. As long as no one else claimed him, or recieved welfare for him. |

Yes, if you provided more than half of his support and nobody else is claiming him. His mother doesn't need to go with you to get your taxes done. |

I believe as long as he was with you for 12 months and no one else is claiming him. That is what we were told for our foster children. Whoever does you income taxes will tell you, just be sure to bring the child's ssi number because you will need this and any amounts you paid for childcare. You will need a daycare tax id number or a person ssi number to back up the childcare expense |

You can claim a nephew if you paid half of their support. If you are single you can even claim head of household.
Oops. Just noticed the date. It has to be over 6 months.
Keep track this year and claim it.
With all of the conflicting answers, just read page 21 of the 1040A instructions. |

Yes, you can claim who you want really, as long as they don't find out. Don't worry about it. |
