MAMalody Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 Check the dependency tests. You may have a problem with the gross income test. For federal purposes, unemployment benefit income is generally taxable income. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pacun Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 No dependency exemption in this case. If daughter doesn't have anyone else to qualify her as a HOH, you should check the rules for HOH carefully and maybe she qualifies for HOH based on the fact that she supported him more than 50%.

mcb39 Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Your Father or Mother must qualify to be your dependent in order to be a qualifying relative for HOH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
