It is an area where tax deductions and credits are often overlooked or inaccurately reported on tax returns. Under tax reform, you can no longer claim the dependent exemption — but you still need to know who qualifies as your dependent for other tax benefits like the Child Tax Credit (up to $2,000 per child under age 17) or the $500 Other Dependent Credit for children over 17 years old or for those who aren’t your children. While we’ll help you to understand who may be eligible to claim as a dependent below, don’t worry about remembering these rules come tax time. TurboTax has you covered. Who Can I Claim As a Tax Dependent? The 5 tests that qualify a child as a dependent Relationship: Must be your child, adopted child, foster child, brother or sister, or a descendant of one of these (grandchild or niece/nephew). Residence: Must have the same residence for more than half the year (exceptions apply). Age: Must be under age 19 or under 24 and a full-time student for at least 5 months. They can be any age if they are totally and permanently disabled. Support: Received more than half of their support from you. Joint Support: The child cannot file a joint return for the year (unless to claim a refund of taxes paid or withheld). The 4 tests that will qualify a relative as a dependent Not a Qualifying Child: They are not the “qualifying child” of another taxpayer or your “qualifying child.” Gross Income: The dependent being claimed earns less than $5,050 in 2024 ($4,700 in 2023). Total Support: You provide more than half of the total support for the year. Member of Household or Relationship: The person (a friend, girlfriend, non-blood relative) must live with you all year as a member of your household or be related to you. Many taxpayers are surprised to find they may be able to claim a boyfriend, girlfriend, domestic partner, or friend as a qualifying relative if: They are a member of your household the entire year. The relationship between you and the dependent does not violate the law, for example, you can not still be married to someone else. (Also, check your individual state law, as some states do not allow you to claim a boyfriend or girlfriend as a dependent even if your relationship doesn’t violate the law). You meet all the other criteria for “qualifying relatives” (gross income and support). Dependent FAQ Question: My 26-year-old is living with me. He works and made more than $5,050 in 2024. Can I claim him as a dependent? Answer: No, because your child would not meet the age test, which says your “qualifying child” must be under age 19 or 24 if a full-time student for at least 5 months out of the year. To be considered a “qualifying relative”, his income must be less than $5,050 in 2024 ($4,700 in 2023). Question: I started work in September of this year and had my baby in March. Can I claim my baby as a dependent on my taxes? Answer: Yes, even if you have a baby on December 31, you can claim them as a dependent on your taxes. Question: My boyfriend fully supports me. We live with his mother, but my boyfriend pays our full support, including rent. His mother wants to claim us as dependents. Who can claim the deduction? Answer: As long as your boyfriend is not married (be sure to check your individual state law regarding claiming a boyfriend or girlfriend as some states don’t comply with the federal law), supplies over half of your support, and you lived with him the entire year and did not earn more than $5,0500, you would qualify as his dependent. His mother could not claim you since she did not provide more than half of the support. Question: My spouse has not worked all year except for one month, can I claim him as a dependent? Answer: You cannot claim a spouse as a dependent. However, if you file married filing jointly, you may have more tax benefits. No matter what moves you made last year, TurboTax will make them count on your taxes. Whether you want to do your taxes yourself or have a TurboTax expert file for you, we’ll make sure you get every dollar you deserve and your biggest possible refund – guaranteed.

I’m putting all my info in and it’s nothing near what I should be getting back! I really need help with my tax return! it’s just not adding up! I’m trying to claim my boyfriend who is 24 and I’ve been supporting. How am I supposed to go about that? And I know for a fact I’m getting jipped out of my money! Trying to find out how to file – 1. My husband has not worked all year, his disability checks started in August. Will he get a form like a W-2 that I need to file on our joint tax return? 2. My daughter turned 19 in April.

If my mom claims me…is that fraud? Hi Daniel, If your mom did not provide over half your support then she can not claim you. Yes, you can claim your son that was born in August 2013. You can claim your girlfriend if: – She lived with you the entire year – You provided over half of her support – She did not make more than $3,950 taxable income – She meets the citizenship tests Thank you, Lisa Greene-Lewis Hi my two boys stayed with me for the summer and now they are with their father for the winter can i claim them on my taxes? Hi Michele, Whether you can claim them depends on a few factors: – First, if there is a support agreement then you have to follow what it says. – If there is not one then the custodial parent (the one the children live with the majority of time) will get the deduction. The custodial parent can agree to allow the non-custodial parent to claim the kids by signing a written declaration. – You also have to provide over half of their support. I hope that helps you. Thank you, Lisa Greene-Lewis I am a single mom with a daughter that is a senior in high school and 18 us old and a son who will 24 in April he didn’t make 3500.00 he lived with me for 8 months can I claim him My mother has Alzheimer’s. I (age 59) moved back home with my son (who is 22 and a full time student) 2 1/2 years ago to take care of her. Her income is a trust my dad set up and all expenses are paid out of that. We have since hired a caregiver during the day so I can be up during the night for my mom. We have also hired a house keeper to come in twice a week. My job is taking care of my mom and her home. I have no income from any source coming in. Can she claim me as a dependent or a employee for a tax deduction? What all can we claim since I will be filling out the tax return (California) I had to replace her refrigerator and had repairs done to the electrical and plumbing. Her car needed a new transmission. Can I claim my step son who is 34 and on permanent mental disability? He lives with us and receives SSI in the amount of $720 a month. Hi Kim, Yes as long as you provide over half of his support and he doesn’t have taxable income more than $3,950. The social security income would not be taxable if he didn’t have any other income. Thank you, Lisa Greene-Lewis I have a daughter she is 3. In 2014 she has lived from jan to September 12 with my in laws however my husband and I have been supporting her. We are currently separated and live in diff states. She didnt live with me during those months because I was in military training and moving to a new duty station.

Hi Randy, It looks like she meets the age requirement of being under 19 by the end of the year so you would be able to claim her on your 2014 taxes as a “Qualifying Child”. Once she turns 19, the rules change a bit. She could be claimed as a “Qualifying relative” as long as she didn’t make over $4,000 in 2015. If she was a full-time student when she is 19 then she could still be considered a “Qualifying Child” and then her income would not be a factor. Make sure if you claim her she doesn’t take a personal exemption. TurboTax will walk you through claiming her. Thank you, Lisa Greene-Lewis thank you for your help. my question is I was wanting to know if I could claim my girlfriend this year on my income tax return we’ve been together for 3 years we have all kinds of paperwork to prove that we been together for 3 years at the middle of 2013 we lost our house in and had to move in with her parents we have shared the same address now for 9 months at are home she has not worked all year and she has been going to school full-time can i clamp her if my husband is permanently disabled and collecting disability early from his retirement can I claim him as my dependent if I provide more than half of his support? I want to kno if I can claim my boyfriend he doesn’t leave with me & he’s not working @the time.so can I or no?
