Steve M Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 My client's 12 year old daughter died in March of 08. She is a single mom. I can't find anything in the instructions for a deceased dependent. Can Mom claim HOH for 08? Can she claim her daughter even though she was alive for only 3 months? Logic tells me yes, but I can't find it. The software under dependents only allows me to enter deceased if there was no SS #. Appreciate your input.

Lion EA Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 If a dependent was born or died during the year and lived with the taxpayer while she was alive, then it is as if dependent lived with taxpayer the full year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAXBILLY Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Be sure to use "12 months lived with you". taxbilly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
