Are you in the United States? If so, one can claim anybody as a dependant on their taxes as lond as they provide at least 50% of that person's support and that person is not claimed as a dependant by anyone else.
It is important to communicate the fact that you intend to claim somebody, however, as that person's filing status will change if they are claimed as a dependant on somebody elses taxes.
You are correct that two people can not claim the same person as a dependant. To do so invites an audit and a subsequent adjustment of their tax liability which may result in penalties, interest and possibly criminal prosecution if it was done as a deliberate attempt to defraud the government. |

irs.gov you can check it out. you have to put SS# on the tax return of the person you are claiming. the big bad IRS computers will cross check and send out notices to both parties claiming the same person. |

You're right. One person can only be claimed once per year.
Both taxes returns will be rejected by the IRS if they pick up the fact that the SS# should only be on one return.
Man, someone may get audited behind this. Too bad. |

Well, when I was younger, my parents were divorced and they both tried to claim me... it doesn't work... the person (or a couple if they are filing a joint return) can clain another person, but two seperate people can't clain one person... you're right...
who ever gives the most financial support to the person being claimed (this inclused room and board, food, clothes, everything) has the right to do claim the dependent...
Call the IRS, they have a help line, and they'll tell you the same thing...
Thanks. |

Here is the IRS publication with the information at issue: http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i1040.pdf. Your friend needs to look at page 20 and answer the questions.
When more than one person claims someone else, the IRS first spits out letters to each asking each person to verify or deny it and then goes from there. So it could get ugly. |

It happened with my kids...the IRS will flag both returns and they will have to work it out together. |

two people can claim the same person if they both give equal support...my exhusband and i have joint custody and both pay equally. we were both audited and they determined we could both claim him...it was a pain in the ****...i dont think you can claim a sibling unless you have gaurdianship. |

Dependents can only be claimed by 1 person.
Welcome to the world of IRS audits. |

This is wrong, assuming your friend doesn't provide primary support for his brother and their parents do. I would tell your friend to IMMEDIATELY talk to a CPA because if he's making blunders like this, who knows what else he may have done! Audits and return reviews for individuals are all the rage at the IRA, so tell him to expect a little love note from them if he plans to claim his borther. |
