Confusing claiming of a dependent?

if you do not live in the household of your parents 6 months the residency test is 0, thus they cannot claim you

if you and the b/f live together the ENTIRE year and you provide 50$ of his support

as well has he doesn't make $3900, nor be claimed on another tax return you can claim him as a dependent

paying for school is not considered part of support--food, clothes, medical, roof over one's head are considered 'support'

For tax purposes, your and his parents should most likely still be claiming you both. Since you are both students, and your parents are paying for your school. The deduction is much more beneficial to your parents than it would be to you on a student's income; it just makes financial sense.

You cannot claim your boyfriend, even if you are supporting him... not sure the reasoning behind that one though?

Here is a basic tool provided by the IRS to determine if a member of your household can be claimed as a dependent by you.

You do seem to have all of this figured out wrong at this time in your life.

Just how much income did you really receive during the 2013 tax year for this purpose.

You do NOT use any numbers in your above enclosed information at this time.

To be able to support your own self during the 2013 tax year.

You and your parents really do need to get together and use the support worksheet that you can find in the Publication 501 for this purpose.

How to determine if support test is met. You figure whether you have provided more than half of a person's total support by comparing the amount you contributed to that person's support with the entire amount of support that person received from all sources. This includes support the person provided from his or her own funds.

Support provided by the state (welfare, food benefits, housing, etc.). Benefits provided by the state to a needy person generally are considered support provided by the state. However, payments based on the needs of the recipient will not be considered as used entirely for that person's support if it is shown that part of the payments were not used for that purpose.

Total Support

To figure if you provided more than half of a person's support, you must first determine the total support provided for that person. Total support includes amounts spent to provide food, lodging, clothing, education, medical and dental care, recreation, transportation, and similar necessities.

Generally, the amount of an item of support is the amount of the expense incurred in providing that item. For lodging, the amount of support is the fair rental value of the lodging.

Expenses not directly related to any one member of a household, such as the cost of food for the household, must be divided among the members of the household.

You may find Worksheet 2 helpful in figuring whether you provided more than half of a person's support.

Person's own funds not used for support. A person's own funds are not support unless they are actually spent for support.

And you do have to sign the completed tax return where the below statement is included at bottom of the page of the 1040 tax form for your use at this time in your life.

Under penalties of perjury, I declare that I have examined this return, and to the best of my knowledge and belief, it is true, correct, and accurately lists all amounts and sources of income I received during the tax year.

Your signature Date Your occupation

Spouse’s signature. Date Your occupation

If a joint return, both must sign.

Be sure that you do have very good daily detailed written records and a copy to be able to prove all of your information that you reported on your 1040 income tax return during the tax filing season for this purpose.

And on the copy of the worksheet that you used to determine the amount of support that you and others paid for this purpose available in case the IRS should decide that they would want you to verify some of the information that you entered on your 1040 income tax return and printed a copy for your records and signed the other copy to send to the IRS for processing at that time in your life.
