If this was your cousin or friend, then you can't claim that adult as a dependent.

yes you can and i already posted the full article from the irs... they can not only be cousins... they can also not even be related


you are taking care of a grown person (over 18) that lives with you and you supply them with most of their shyt, cause they don't even work/get benefits

you better damn well believe that's a dependent




What Are the Qualifying Relative Requirements?
An individual must meet all 4 of these requirements in order to be considered your Qualifying Relative.

1. Not a Qualifying Child: The individual cannot be your Qualifying Child and cannot be someone else's Qualifying Child. They are a Qualifying Child if they meet all the requirements, whether or not they are claimed as a dependent.
2. Relationship: The person must either have lived with you for the entire year as a member of the household (a person who is not actually related to you may meet the requirements in this way), or be related to you in one of the following ways: your child, stepchild, grandchild or other descendant of one of your children (or stepchildren or foster children), son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother, sister, half brother, half sister, stepbrother, stepsister, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, parent, stepfather, stepmother, father-in-law, mother-in-law, grandparent, and, if related by blood, aunt, uncle, niece, or nephew. Remember that a child whom you legally adopted is always considered to be your child. Also note that, for the purposes of this requirement, divorce or death does not change any relationship which was established by marriage (e.g. son-in-law, daughter-in-law, etc.)
3. Gross Income: The person must have made less than $4,000 in gross income during 2015.
4. Support: You must have provided more than half of the individual's total support during the year.

Did you know, you may be able to claim your couch potato friend as a dependent? Did you realize that support of your struggling aunt who didn’t live with you may qualify you for the dependency deduction? Don’t feel bad, you would be surprised how many people scratch their heads about dependency tax laws.

The bottom line is a dependent must be your “qualifying child” or “qualifying relative” and meet specific tests in order for you to claim them.

There are 5 test that will qualify a child as a dependent as follows:

• Relationship: Must be your child, adopted child, foster-child, brother or sister, or a descendant of one of these(grand or nephew).
• Residence: Must have the same residence for more than half the year.
• Age: Must be under age 19 or under 24 and a full-time student for at least 5 months. They can be any age if they are totally and permanently disabled.
• Support: Must not have provided more than half of their own support during the year.
• Joint Support: The child cannot file a joint return for the year.

There are 4 tests that will qualify a relative as a dependent as follows:

• They are not the “qualifying child” of another taxpayer or your “qualifying child”.
• Gross Income: Dependent earns less than $4,000 in 2015.
• Total Support: You provide more than half of the total support for the year.
• Member of Household or Relationship: The person must live with you all year as a member of your household or be one of the relatives that doesn’t have to live with you see IRS Publication 501 for a list of qualifying relatives.

Many taxpayers are surprised to find they may be able to claim a boyfriend, girlfriend, domestic partner, or friend as a qualifying relative if:

• They are a member of your household the entire year.
• The relationship between you and the dependent does not violate the law (you can’t still be married to someone else. Also check your individual state law. Some states do not allow you to claim a boyfriend or girlfriend as a dependent even if your relationship doesn’t violate the law).
• You meet all the other criteria for “qualifying relatives” (gross income and support).

You can use an empty Visa Rewards Bank Card to make in-flight purchases. The cards cannot be run while in flight so all transactions are completed once you land, so you can receive any item you want for free. There is no way to track the failed transaction because your information is not tied to the card. My friend is a pilot and I have done this for years. ~ jalapeno_face_

SHEEEIIITTT, im about to get in on this.

The parking garage trick doesn't work if they have metallic weight sensors in front of the gate(which most garages do).

School bookstores have you check your items at the front and they look at what books you bring into the bookstore.

You have to prove insolvency to file for bankruptcy, so you'll just ruin your credit trying to get out of the loans. And good luck getting 50k in liquid credit when you already have 50k in student loans.

Parking lots have attendants to watch out for "cone droppers".

Major cities don't have repair shops in the metro area.

The rest seem solid.

Where do they do this at?

My dad once told me this when I started to apply to jobs & colleges. If there is a list of things that are posted on the site of what you are applying for, copy and paste them into your application with white text. If it’s run over by a computer, it will catch it, and send it to the interviewers, getting you an instant interview. If all applications are looked over by people, it won’t be seen at the bottom, and won’t matter to them. ~ RGiss

Last one is clutch.

The free textbooks trick might be outdated.. Most university bookstores have a seperate desk where you can sell textbooks right at the front, then they give you a check you can cash at the normal registers. To get to the desk where you can sell, you'd have to already smuggle the textbook past the register

THEM REDBOX CODES DONT WORK ANYMORE
