Can I claim myself for this years taxes?

On 12/31/2011, you are 20. You are no longer in the under 19 age group.

The next age group is under 24, but ONLY IF you were a full time student for 5 or more months of the year. No where in your post do you mention school, so this does not apply.

The next test is income. If your total income is more than $3700 for the year (and your post says it's more than $7000), no one can claim you because your income is too high for your age group. So yes, you claim your own exemption when you file your income tax return.

If I'm wrong and you have been a student, post that information and we'll go through the support test issue.

I turned 19 in Dec. 2010.

TO: a tax lady

yes i am not a student and your answer is just what i was looking for thank you so much for quick reply!!

And now where is the best answer vote that the Tax Lady should have from you for her quick answer at this time in your life.

And if your mother does claim you and your return should get rejected by the IRS then you would use the below enclosed information and then IRS will check it out and go from that point with it at that time.

When the income tax return is efiled and the social security number has been used on another income tax return in the same tax year by someone else then the second filer will get the acknowledgment from the IRS that will state REJECTED and the error message should indicate that the social security number for the dependent that is being claimed for the tax year has already been used by another taxpayer and then the second filer that has received the REJECT NOTICE and if they qualify to claim the child they will have to file a paper income tax return and mail it to the correct IRS address for this purpose.

When two taxpayers claim the same qualifying dependent on the tax returns.

Then you will have to send in a paper IRS return with a letter attached to the front stating that you are legitimately claiming your own exemption.

And then you really should not have any problem since you said in your above enclosed that turned the age of 19 before midnight December 31 2010 and also that you were employed bringing in 1200 a month until July and that since then you have been receiving taxable unemployment compensation insurance benefits so you would be way over the gross income amount of 3700 for the 2011 tax year.

Hope that you find the above enclosed information useful and good luck to you. 11/08/2011

If you were not a full time student during at least 5 months of 2011, no she can't claim you. If she files before you do and claims you, you won't be able to e-file but can mail in your return and claim yourself.

If you WERE a full time student during at least five months, she might be able to claim you. The 1/4 of household expenses takes the total expenses divided by the 4 people living there, for the months you lived there, minus the rent you paid.

Respond to the letter you got about the food stamps. It might be her problem, not yours - respond and tell them the situation.

Write a letter to the state agency trying to collect money from you stating you want proof that you signed the papers to obtain food stamp benefits. Also, state that another person used your name and social security number for these benefits. Unless they have something with your signature on it, it will be hard to prove you collected the benefits. IF necessary, get a lawyer to help you write the letter.

Also, get your credit reports from each agency. If there are other misuses of your social security number, send correction. Since your mother seems to want to use your credit rating, freeze your credit to stop her. Read about freezing your credit at "http://www.clarkhoward.com"./ It may cost you to do this, but it is worth it to stop further identity theft by your mother.

Send the letter by registered mail and make em sign for the letter.

If you do have to pay that $1000, take your mother to small claims court and get a judgement against her. She does not deserve your support when she does this to you.

Yes, you can claim yourself on your income tax return.

a qualifying child is one who has not reached age 19, is being supported more than 50% by a parent(guardian) and lives in the household of that person 6 months of the year

if you do not fulfill these requirements, neither parent can claim you, and you claim yourself

while you're dealt with as self reliant, then you certainly are. You declare your self. meaning you furnish over a million/2 of your very own help. Wages, provides, loans for which you're responsible all count variety in direction of help provided by using you. it is not a remember of the form you get the biggest refund. shop on with the regulation.
