Am I allowed to claim my disabled fiance on my tax return?

Question

He has filed for disability and I have been taking care of him for the last 8 months. If I can claim him what do I put down for relationship?

Answer 1

He has to haved lived with you for 12 months in 2006, have taxable income of less than $3,300, not be filing a joint return with a spouse, satisfy citizenship requirements, cannot be claimed as a dependent child on anyone's return, and he has received over half his support from you.

Support he provided for himself includes everything that he has spent for his own support from whatever source, including nontaxable payments and savings, in addition to the fair rental value of his home if he owns the home.

The value of your caretaking services is not considered as support provided by you.

If all the conditions listed above are true, he is your dependent.

Relationship: Other or None.

Answer 2

The only way you could claim him would be if he gets his support from you AND does not file himself and is your dependent

I would also check about the relationship issue with IRS...it may be you cannot claim someone who is a non-relative...not certain aabout this.

Answer 3

Only if he lived with you all year. Since you say 8 months, then no. If he lived with you all year, you paid more than half of his support, and he didn't make over $3300 for the year, then maybe you could - if any one of these isn't the case, then no.

Answer 4

In order to be your qualifying relative, he must meet the following three tests:

Member of household OR relationship
Gross Income
Support

Since he isn't your child, step, foster child, father, mother, brother sister, half-sibling, aunt, uncle, niece, nephew, in laws, etc, he must live in your home for all 12 months.

Gross Income - person must have less than $3,300 of gross income

Answer 5

You can claim him when hius status changes from fiance to husband. He is not a dependent yet. Sorry.

Answer 6

You can claim him, only if he is a dependent.
