ILLMAS Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 TP dependent decided to get married during college and found out it wasn't a good idea, spouse moved to a different state filled her tax return as MFS, now the parent wants to claim the whipper snapper as dependent because of all the college tuition they paid for their son. I just want to make sure this is impossible to do and confirm it with the TP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I like the way you answer to everyone questions, I took a look at Pub 501 and I see no "JOINT" in MFS and the examples they give also doesn't give reference to joint. Based on the examples the a spouse can even claim HOH when the other claims MFS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
