I have a tax question about claiming a dependant??

I think the real question you should be asking is why am I taking care of a 20 year old when I'm 26?\n\nYou shouldn't even worry about him.  You should be out having fun, getting laid.\n\nHe's a grown man.  He should pay for himself.\n\n\nTake my advice now, because if you don't...\n20 years from now the IRS is going to be knocking on your door wanting to know about that 40 year old dependant you keep claiming on your tax returns.  And they have guns.\n\nSo send that loafer out into the street so he can finally grow up!

Yea, this sounds like you need the court to help you on this sweety...\n\nIf he's been self employed you might want to know also how long he's been self employed and how much he's claiming...This is all going to be done through court...Perhaps you can ask the court since he's self employed if it can be garnished from his bank account...I'm not sure if this is legal, but maybe ask the court or get some legal help...\n\nGood luck.

The instructions on the W-4 are a guide. You would be single filing one if you're parents claim you as a dependent, single filing 2 if you live on your own.\nHowever, you can use the allowances claimed as a way to change the size of your refund/tax payment at tax time. If you like to get a refund at the end of the year and you had similar circumstances last year with the same filing status, follow the instructions. If you'd rather have the money in your paycheck and pay a large amount at tax time, increase the number of allowances.

You have to include the household income of the parent you're living on right now. You can also check which one of them have you as a direct dependant on their tax return. Not both of them can have you there and the government will also use that information as a decision point.

There is no 'contacting' them about this. \n\nJust don't claim them the next time you file your taxes!

Under the I T Act, yes you can claim benefit given to an individual if for reason of occupation he can not reside in the home he purchase. You can definitely allowed to have Interest deduction on loan borrowed.

It's 'defaultingly' better to err on the side of the IRS- get a second tax payer ID/ EIN number for the second business and treat it as such- another business.  Your accounting system and accountant/book keeper will probably agree too.

If you have a dependent and you support them more than half of their support, then you can be head of household. But if you are marriage and live anytime with in the last 6 month of the year with your spouse then you have to either claim marriage joint or marriage filing separate.

You are his dependent. You didn't file a joint tax return. You are not entitled to any refund.

Go to an accounting service and ask. You're going to have to get one anyway. He or she will set you up with a package.\nMine was $800 up-front to incorporate with her sevices and $300 a month after that. It was well worth it and saved my butt many times.

She can but she has to mark the area that asks if you were claimed as someones dependent.  She will still get whatever she paid in.  It is more beneficial for her mother to claim her than to claim herself, but she still has to file.

you have to claim the interest as earnings but \nif that's all you have for earnings it wouldn't be enough to bother even  filing as you wouldn't owe anything

The IRS says you are either married or you're not.  So for their purposes your friend was married at the end of tax year 2005.  However that doesn't mean that he MUST claim his wife, only that the option is available.  The can each file as "Married filing Separately" and each can claim themselves.  It might be better for them to agree to file jointly since they would probably pay less tax that way.  If they aren't on speaking terms this option is most likely out.

I believe he can claim you. My boyfriend was told he could claim me by an accountant. I would check with an accountant just to be sure. \n\nP.S. We are in California, it might be different in your state.

What is the question?\n\nYou should speak to an accountant so that you won't get penalized by the IRS.

Try using last years Federal Income Tax return.  If you claimed her as a dependent, you had to have put the number on your 1040.

First of all, I hope you filed an extension because your taxes were due a week ago.  The answer to your question is no you can not claim her for 2 reasons.  She did not live with you for the full year and she is not a US citizen.  Both of these requirements must be met.  Although it should be fairly straight forward in the instructions to the form 1040.  If you don't have yours, you can get them here. http://www.irs.gov/formspubs/index.html
