Taxes parents claiming me?
I lived with my dad up until June 13 of 06 then i joined the army. Does he still get to claim me this year and if he does do still file for taxes?
Additional Details
Well he wants to claim me becuase i lived there for 6 months so that he will not have to pay nothin. But i want to know if he does claim me then can i still file? I dont know much about this so im just really confused about the whole taxes thing.

These are the rules for a child deduction.
Son, etc AND
Under 19 at end of 2006, etc AND
Did not provide over half of his support for the year AND
Lived with parent more than half the year

So it sounds like he can't claim you. He is about 2 weeks short. There is an exception on length based on temporary military service but I don't know for sure if this is temporary. Ask the IRS to be sure.


HarryMay
if you are earning money you file...if someone is claiming you and he can, then you should get most of your money back (that you already paid in taxes...


Craig M
There is an area on the tax form where it asks you if you can be claimed by someone else. I believe he can claim you for the dates in question, and you can file by yourself.
P.S. Thank you for joining the Army to protect all our freedoms.


Lance
Yes, he still gets to claim you. You must still file to report your income.


Judy1
No, actually you didn't live there for six months - you lived there for five months and 13 days.

If you went into the army then, it would seem that you very possibly provided more than half of your support for the year. If so, your dad can't claim you as a dependent.

This one is a very close call. The IRS has a form for figuring out support for the year when determining dependency. Your dad would have to fill that out to show that you didn't provide more than half of your support, if he claims you and is questioned as to whether he had the right to.

If I were you, I'd file, claiming myself. The worst that happens is that the IRS disallows your claim, and you'd end up having to pay back the extra taxes.

Depends on your age, were you a student, and few other factors, best way is just to ask him.


MsFancy
Your dad can still claim you as a dependant but you will also file. Believe me, my son is 21 and I've been claiming him every year and he still files taxes himself.


tina1rules
ask the proffesionals at jackson hewitt


Betsy B
if he claims you, you cannot file.. he can claim your income as well.. if your over the age of 18 he can't claim you unless you are in school


TwinkaTee
Once you turn 18, your parents can not claim you on their taxes. Your considered an adult. However, if he attempts to claim you, you can't file your own return.

Yes. Because He Is Paying Taxes For The Year You Lived With Him. And If You Are Under 21


fuzzyfatrabbit
if you go to IRS.gov, this will answer this question. In order to claim you as a dependent he would have had to support you for the entire year. You will need to file your own income tax forms.


muskrat_h8r
If you are filing your own taxes, no. If you are not, then he can still claim you

How old are you? This year yes he can, but next year no. Since you dont live with him, he can only claim you as a dependant in the time you lived with him. Usualy when you make five hundred dollars or more, you have to file.
