    Generally you can claim him as long as his income for the year was less than $3,650, you provided more than half of his support, and he is not married filing a joint return. Since he is your son, there is no requirement that he live with you.

    If he is disabled or has income under the amount of $ 3,650; lives in your home the entire year, etc; then possibly yes. Download a Pub 17 at IRS.GOV and check out the flow charts and possiblilites.

    See IRS Publication 501. The criteria are spelled out there.

    if he lives in your household the ENTIRE year, you provided more than 50% of his support, he did not earn $3650 and he cannot be claimed on the tax return of anyone else

    What the ****; listen you need to get on his ***. If you do claim him make sure he gets straight As. He's well on his way to what we call a loser if hes in college at 32.

    Doubtful. It is rather unusual for a 32 year old adult to be still living with his/her parents and presumably not contributing anything
