omg - really??? i would love to, but he wasnt technically living with me, just for 3 months. but he was a full time student.Our accountant told us we can claim our 21 year old son as long as he is a full time student. Is your son a student that was in treatment? If so you can claim him.
thanks!! i decided i am not going to claim him for bigger refund - its a grey area. i know his dad will even tho he did nothing for him in 2016.The Child Tax Credit and claiming him as a dependent are two different things. You can call IRS and ask; since it's for a return you haven't filed yet, you want to talk to someone in Tax Law.[/QUOTE
