Can boyfriend claim me + 4 kids as dependents if he supported us all year?
Need to know if my partner can claim me and my kids on his taxes. He's been supporting all of us for over a year, including our new baby born in February. I only made about 3k from starting work recently and won't be claiming them. We live together and he pays for everything.

Yes, he can potentially claim all of you IF you meet the qualifying relative/dependent tests. The key requirements are: 1) he provided more than half of total support for the year 2) you each earned less than $4,400 3) you lived together all year 4) no one else can claim you or the kids 5) you're not filing a joint return with anyone. Just make sure to document everything in case of audit.

Keep everything - rent, utilities, groceries, clothing, medical bills, receipts for toys/school supplies. Basically anything he paid for to support you all 👍

Hey! I was in a similar situation last year and used taxr.ai to figure this out. It analyzes your specific situation and tells you exactly what you qualify for and what documentation you need. Saved me so much headache for just $4.99. Check it out: https://taxr.ai

100% legit! It broke down everything we needed and even caught some credits we would've missed. Best 5 bucks I ever spent on taxes fr fr

The biological parents have first right to claim unless they sign Form 8332 giving up their right to claim. Where's their dad in this??
