You can, but it will be very hard to prove it. You are going to have canceled checks, itemized for the government to see. If he was in college, then you claim him pretty easily, but if he is not, it becomes a lot harder. Seeing that the personal exemption is $3,000 dollars and most people are in the 25% bracket, you would only see about $750 back in taxes if you are able to claim him.

You can claim your 25-year old son as a dependent even though he does not live with you. The requirements are:
1. His gross income was less than $3,300 in 2006.
2. You provided over half of his support
3. He is not filing a joint return with a spouse.

you joking .
he's not under age ,and he's not in college.
if that was the case I.R.S. owes me a few ,i have a 24 yr old son ,i support him also ,he doe's not live at home ,so i pay the rent ,food ,gas,water ,electricity,gas for the car ,im not sure how many car payments ,and yes he claims taxes because he works measly job's enough to get back ,but not enough to support him .
and your son and yourself cannot claim taxes ,if you get caught ,it will be much worst.
happy filling

you CAN NOT claim him,
although he is in college BUT he doesn't live with you for more than half of the year and he is over 24. therefore you can not claim him.

If your son had a gross taxable income of over $3,300 , and he is not disabled, you cannot claim him.

If he is say, disabled, and he does not file or claim himself on taxes & you have proof you pay more than 50% of his upkeep, I think so . . .
but check for THE official answer . . .
