[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 332499, member: 1233"] As Nichole only worked for a few months, chances are her taxes will be almost nil. You need to sit down WITH Nichole and do the taxes - yours AND hers. Freefile through [url]www.irs.gov[/url] will let you do this for free. You cannot claim a deduction for half the year. Legally, she lived with you and was supported by you for over 6 months of the year so she is your deductible and so is Aubrey. This will make a HUGE difference on YOUR taxes, and a small one on hers. What we did the years we lived with my parents (husband was working and I couldn't because difficult child crud meant he needed a 24/7 parent who could drop and run with no notice.) was that we did our taxes claiming ourselves and the kids. Then we did them not claiming anyone. Then not claiming the kids but claiming us. My parents did theirs claiming us, claiming just my kids, and claiming none of us. Every year it worked out best to have them claim us and the kids. They gave us the amt we would have gotten as a refund if we had claimed all of us. They still benefited by thousands of dollars. It is NOT hard to figure this up. Just put the info into the software. If husband cannot handle then you and Nichole need to sit down and work it out. You cannot legally claim someone for only 1/2 the year. At least we were not allowed to when we moved out of my parents'. [/QUOTE]
