Tax question concrning dependants. Daughter turned 18 in 2007?

There are several things to consider when claiming a dependent.

1) she must have lived with you at least 6 months of the year.

2) she must not have supported herself more than 50%

3) she must be under 19 on December 31st (or 24 if in school full time)

If these three things are true, you are still able to claim her as a dependent. She however cannot claim herself and still must put that she can be claimed as a dependent on someone elses return.

She is still entitled to a refund, even if you claim her. It probably won't be as much as she won't have that exemption for herself, but being a dependent doesn't mean you are unable to receive a refund. The tax rebate, however, is out for her if you can claim her as a dependent, and unfortunately, since she is over 17, you don't get the extra money for her either. Depending on her situation next year, however, she may still get the rebate when she files next year's taxes.

Good luck.

You can't claim her - she didn't live with you ALL year, which is a requirement for claiming a non-related person.

Her mom might be able to claim her, but not if her daughter provided over half of her own support for the year. If she moved out in July and supported herself from then on, the support calculation might be very close.

YOU cannot claim her since she's not your daughter and didn't live in your home all year. Her mother may well be able to as long as she lived in the home for more than 6 months and didn't provide more than half of her OWN support.

Technically you can claim her until she is 24 if she is still in school. Since July is the 7th month she lived with you for 6 months of the year and you can claim her. She will still get a refund if you claim her, but you will get the deduction because she is -your- dependent. For the best help with this I would recommend calling a local tax office. Even if they don't prepare your taxes, they can still give you advice over the phone. Hope that helps!

you may declare him as a Qualifying toddler to your Head of greater half and childrens submitting prestige if he grew to become into under age 19 on December 31, 2007. If he's an entire time pupil you may declare him up till age 24. In the two case, he's your based.

If you supported her for the majority of the year you can claim her on your taxes. She can also claim herself if she would like only if you dont claim her. If I were you I would make a compromise and say you will pay her what she would have gotten because you will get more money claiming her as a dependent.

She can still file if her mom claimed her. She will get the standard deduction but not the personal exemption.

If someone claimed her (either you or her mom) than she can't claim herself.
