[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 474702, member: 1514"] I took tax accounting and my father was a corporate tax accountant and from what I was told, as long as the person lived with you for over half the year, made under a certain amount of money, and you supported them over half the time then you can claim them as a deduction. Normally that person is your spouse, child, grandchild, foster child, etc but it can be a partner or significant other now. Or child of such or even child you have taken in without formal papers. It does become a different situation if you are trying to claim earned income credit. You cant claim that if they arent disabled or in school past a certain age. I think that might be 19. Ok...now as far as the addresses thing you were asking about. Cory and Mandy still use my address as their mailing address for most things. He gives his "living address" to people but gives a mailing address as mine so that all actual mail comes to my house because it would just be too difficult to keep changing addresses every time he moved. Also my phone number is his main contact number for emergencies. If he has to give anyone a phone number to reach him at he gives my number because he knows I will always be able to be reached even if he is out of minutes and I can always get up with him even if I have to go get him. I dont mind. Heck, I still get one piece of mail that the Marines send Jamie every year..lol. [/QUOTE]
