Wendel, You should also consider who is your Qualifying Relative for determining who is your dependent as an exemption on your taxes. People who failed to meet any one of the Qualifying Child Tests, you may find that they do qualify as a Qualifying Relative. A Qualifying Relative must satisfy just four tests:
- The Relationship Test
- The Gross Income Test
- The Support Test
- The Dependency Test
- A child or decedent of said child
- Sibling or step-sibling
- Parent or decedent of either
- Step-parent
- A sibling's child
- In-Laws (son, daughter, mother, father, brother, sister)
- any individual who shares the sajme principal abode as the tax-payer
- Must have less than $3,650 of income
- Over half of the dependent's total support for the year must have been provided by the tax-payer.
- Special rules apply for multi-support agreement for children of divorced persons.
