tweedy | Tax return question?? im confused?? |
Can my boyfriend claim my son (Caleb) on his tax return? we have lived together all year and i also have a son (Luke) with him. We are not married because it will mess up my financial aid for college. Caleb's father has nothing to do with him and has never paid a dime in child support. I also did not work all year. I hear some rules have changed, but I don't see why my bf wouldn't be able to claim him when he provided ALL of his support this year. Its confusing!! Thanks in advance! |

The IRS released an update of the new rules.....The new new rules if you will.
Your boyfriend can claim your son for dependency purposes but not for Child Tax Credit, Earned Income Credit, or Head of Household purposes. Also, if it is legal in your state, you should be able to claim you.
He now has a rather complex return situation. He should probably see a professional this year. |

Yes, but make sure his dead beat daddy isn't trying to claim him as well...it happens. |

If he pays for more than 50% of the child's expenses and no one else is claiming him. Then yes he can |

I don't think that you can both claim him. Check out the IRS site and give them a call. |

He can claim him. |

IRS notice 2008-5, which was issued yesterday, allows your boyfriend to claim Caleb as a dependent. 2008-5 reversed IRS policy which had been in affect since 2005.
Had you asked on Monday instead of today the answer would have been no. |

yes if he's the only one that claims him that is ok to put him.... |

Yes he can claim him!! |

He can claim him as long as your son has been living under the same roof with him for 6 months or more. |

i do beleave he can because he's the only means of income(head of household) but to be sure i'd call the IRS and make sure.that way you fill it out the first time and dont have to wait for the return. |

I have known people who claim friends on their taxes, so I wouldn't think it would be a problem. My sister has done that as well and it has worked. |

He can't claim as a dependant but depending on his income can claim head of household. |
|

No, I don't think he can claim him unless you file a joint return (which you can't do since you're not married). Ask your tax preparer.
Actually, he could probably file as "head of household" and claim him, but it would probably trigger an IRS audit if he's never claimed him before and all of a sudden is claiming him. Not a good idea. |

I believe the change that was made is that they have to be family. He would have to list him as being his stepson. |
