Question

Can my fiance claim my kids as dependents? Not child tax credits, just dependents. Their father can't claim them and I am a stay at home mom. Thanks  

Answer 1

He can claim you as a dependent and them as child tax credits. If he supports them and you.

@mitra He can claim you as a dependent also

@mitra before we got married my husband was able to claim me as a dependent and our son as a tax credit, without any penalty, it worked out since I made no money or less than 3k!

@omeromero that is the plan! I have 3 kids, two aren't his.  

Answer 2

If he’s financially responsible for them, I would say yes!

@jeremiad I was 99% sure. But the wording is so confusing. Lol

Answer 3

Yes if y’all are living together you will need to sign a form. When we were deployed our brother and sister in law claimed our son since they had him that year with our permission

Answer 4

Thanks so much everyone! I was 99% sure but wording can be confusing. I am so excited I found The Budget Mom.  

Answer 5

As long as he can prove that he has supported them for more than 50% of the year

Answer 6
