Can you claim a live in girlfriend as a dependent if she doesn't claim herself?

Maybe. In order to claim her as a dependent, she will need to qualify under the Qualifying Relative rules. That means she has to meet all four of these criteria: 1.

Relationship Test: must be your child, sibling, step-sibling, grandchild, parent, step-parent, grandparent, niece, nephew, in-law, or a member of your household (lived with you the entire year). 2. Gross Income Test: must have earned less than $3,650 of income for the year.

3. Support Test: You must have provided more than half of their support for the year. 4.

Dependency Test: They cannot qualify as a dependent as a Qualifying Child for someone else. If she meets all four tests, then you can claim her as a dependent. Make sure that she does not also claim herself if she files a return, though.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
