How to file, can son still claim girlfriend on his taxes?
Can the tax pros give us some advice on how to file. Son and his girlfriend live together last year he was the only one with income and he claimed her on his taxes she was 19 and not being claimed by anyone and he was fully supporting her. She recently got a job and only made about 1500. for 2011 will she need to file taxes on her own or can he still claim her on his taxes.
They have lived together for over two and half years now. Parents did not claim her when he filed his taxes last year as they lived together the full year and he supported her not her parents.So for the 2010 tax year she was on his taxes. 2011 she just started working in Oct and had income of around 1500.

What do you mean by "last year?" sounds like they lived together some or all of **2010** in which the info below would apply for 2010, and maybe bf filed incorrectly for 2010.
when is "recently?" The IRS deals in calendar years. Her income may impact his and her 2012 filing statuses. When is her birthday?
if she graduated from high school May or June 2011 [ or 2010 see line one ] she would be the dependent of her parents and bf could not claim. Also, she had to live with him ALL year (Jan 1 - Dec 31, 2011 [ditto 2010] ) for bf to claim her as a qualifying "friend" (IRS says "relative"). She is qualified on the point that she made less than $3700, but then there is the test that the relationship cannot violate state or local laws, even if they are not enforced. {like she was married, but shacking up with bf, is the example given}.
NO GUARANTEES but it sounds like gf could be a dependent re bf claiming the $3700 exemption for gf on his 2011 tax return.
Source(s): go to www.irs.gov or pick up the 2011 copy of Pub 17 for the rules and examples. - boissyLv 44 years ago
in the journey that your lady chum can declare her son, regularly you may desire to no longer be waiting to attain this. in the journey that your lady chum won't be able to declare her son and no person else is qualified to declare him, you're waiting to attain this. whether you may declare him as a based, you won't be able to declare him as a qualifying toddler for purposes of earned earnings credit, toddler tax credit, etc. considering which you have no longer any organic and organic or legal relationship. He might basically be a based, no longer a qualifying toddler.
