Question:
My dad claimed my brother and my mom as dependents last year. This year he got a new job in the beginning of the year and showed that he has 2 dependents. Thats why he is paying much less tax. As a single with no dependents, I am paying huge amount of taxes. Also, I'm going to college this year and I want that I get financial aid next year. To get aid, i must claim at least one person. Can I claim my younger brother and my dad claims only my mom?
Answers:
You can only claim as a dependent an individual that you paid more than half of their support. The rules are much more complicated than that but that is a good start to suggest that you and your Dad can't just divide up whatever dependents that may exist.
You can't claim your brother unless you pay for most of his support. You should consult a CPA or tax attorney. It sounds to be like you're heading for a problem if you do that.
No, you can't. Does your brother actually depend on you? You support him, and he lives in your house? Didn't think so. So, no, you can't claim him.
you got to get married and have some kids.
