(1) your son lived in his household for the ENTIRE year
(2) your son did not have gross income exceeding the allowable amount (was $3200 in 2005)
(3) he provided more than half of your son's total support for the year
He can claim him as long as no one else is. There are other requirements as well (see above)
The IRS has come up with a new rule called "A qualifying child/Qualifying relative. As long as the person being claimed lived with the taxpayer the entire year, he/she may claim that person. They will get their deduction but they WILL NOT GET EIC (earned income credit) for this individual unless they are: neices, nephews, aunts, sister, brother... NO COUSINS!!!

Anybody can claim your child just as long as you give up the social security number and work out some kind of agreement. But if you don't' want him to claim your child then you claim your child your self and file this thing called self employed by saying that you braid hair out of your house or that you work out of your house this is what I do every year for more details click on my picture and we can talk some more. Then you and the kid get the money and not him because you would already have been done it.

he can claim your son if:
(1) your son lived in his household for the ENTIRE year
(2) your son did not have gross income exceeding the allowable amount (was $3200 in 2005)
(3) he provided more than half of your son's total support for the year
I'm assuming your son is a US citizen living in the US, and is not married - if these are not the case, there are additional requirements to be met.

Yes if he provided his support for more than 6 months of the year

if you have S.S. number for yourself and child and the man supplies over 51% of your necessary needs[money] than yes he can claim the two of you. but be care full of all the legal traps that can befall you. go ask somebody like H&R Block as an example.

I think he can if you let him. Its like when a child is taken care of his parents they can claim them. But if you file single and claim your son your man can not. Just as long as he is not claimed twice.

If he's providing the home and care of that boy, he has all the right to claim him. Unless you plan on claiming him.

Is he the father of the child? Is he the legal guardian? If not, probably not without some court intervention.

Definitely if you're married by the end of the year.

I think he can. He just needs a social security number.
