Can my mom claim my son without my permission on her tax return?

Question

ME AND MY BOYFRIEND LIVE WITH MY MOM AND WE ARE ON WALEFARE AND ALSO RECIEVE CASH BENEFITS FROM THE STATE THAT WE PAY RENT WITH .MY PARENTS BUYS DIPERS SOMETIMES AND THATS IT DO THE HAVE THE RIGHT TO CLAIM MY SON O THEIR TAX RETURN?

Answer 1

From what you said, neither you nor your mom nor your boyfriend can claim your son.  None of you are financially supporting him with your income.  Welfare does not count, only earned income.  So none of you can claim him since your state and county are the ones actually supporting him.

Answer 2

Short answer:  Yes.

Since you are not filing a tax return, if your child does not pay for over of his own support, then the grandparents could claim the child if the child lives in their household and is under age 19 or under age 24 and a full-time student.

They do not need your permission to claim the grandchild in this case.

However, if you filed a tax return, you would have priority to claim the child, and if you did the grandparents could not claim the child.

The amount of support provided by the grandparents is not part of the rules for determining the dependency exemption.

Answer 3

If you provide more than 50% of your childs and your own support then you claim the child. If you are a dependent then you cannot claim a child as a dependent and whoever is supporting you and the child can claim.

Answer 4

If your mom contributes 50% or more to your and your son's keep - if she provides the home, utilities, home insurance, food, telephone, clothing, toys, medical care payments, transportation expenses - any of those qualify her to claim not only your son but also you.  She cannot claim your boyfriend as a dependent as he is not related to her.

Answer 6

why shouldn't they, it is because of them and all of us that you get welfare and cash benefits etc.

you and your boyfriend are old enough to have a child and should be old enough to Get a job so we don't have to support you and you don't have to complain about your parents claim your son.  

Do you actually pay the amount you received for rent to your parents.

Answer 7

A grandparent can claim a grandchild under the Qualifying Child rule if the child lives in the grandparent's home for more than half of the year and the parents do not or can not claim the child.  The support test under the Qualifying Child rule is that the child not provide more than half of their OWN support, NOT that your mother provide 50% or more.

Additionally if your mother can claim you as a dependent, you are NOT able to claim your child yourself.  If your mother can claim you as either a Qualifying Child or Qualifying Relative, it's almost certain that she can claim your child under the Qualifying Child rule if your child lived in her home for more than half of the year.

The requirements under the Qualifying Child and Qualifying Relative rules are somewhat different.  If you and your boyfriend lived in your mother's home all year and your mother provided more than half of both of your support, she could claim both of you under the Qualifying Relative rule.  Your age would not matter in this case.

If you are under age 19 as of Dec 31st or under age 24 and a full time student for at least part of any 5 months during the year your mother can claim you under the Qualifying Child rule as long as you lived in her home for more than 6 months AND you did not provide more than half of your OWN support.

Again, if your mother can claim you as a dependent, she can also claim your child and you may NOT claim your child.
