Answer 1

OK, 4 scenarios but no actual question so I can only guess. You can always claim an exemption for yourself unless you are the dependent of another taxpayer.

1. Parents are residents of the US and Mexican citizens. Either is qualifying for a dependency exemption. Both can be claimed if otherwise eligible.

2. Mother, yes, if otherwise eligible. Father, no. Dependents must either be US citizens or residents of the US, Canada or Mexico.

3. Both parents are US citizens. Parents do not need to live in your home to be claimed as dependents, so both may be claimed if otherwise eligible.

4. There is an exception to the citizenship and residence rule for adopted children so the child can be claimed as a dependent.

Note that all dependents must have an SSN or ITIN to be claimed as dependents.

IRS e-e book 501 has info, and that i've got under no circumstances seen something there that asserts a sibling ought to be youthful to be a based, so sister's age isn't an argument. the female would record married submitting at a similar time along with her deceased husband that 3 hundred and sixty 5 days, her son does not qualify for an exemption, her sister would be a "qualifying relative" for an exemption, if the female provided extra effective than 50% of her sister's help. no count if the female ought to declare HOH right here 3 hundred and sixty 5 days relies upon no count if sister continues to be a "qualifying relative" in line with earnings and >50% help attempt.

Have you considered doing your own homework? How do you plan to function actually doing taxes once you finish the course? Are you going to just keep your Internet connection up all the time, and anytime you don't know something, ask on Yahoo answers? I wouldn't advise it - I've seen probably more wrong answers on this forum than right ones. Even for homework, better double check the answers you get.

I'm not throwing stones at answers you've gotten to this question so far, by the way - Bostonianinmo has given you good info.
