GUEST13 Posted April 24, 2022 Report Share Posted April 24, 2022 Hello, hoping you can help me with this scenario One of my dependents lived with us until April (4months), however signed a new lease with her boyfriend in March and gave birth at the end of April. 1) Do I claim her as a dependent if she lived with us Full-time until she gave birth and stayed with us part-time until the end of May? If I claim her as a dependent, do I also add my grand-child born in April 2021 on my family return (My inkling is no because she now has a dependent)? 2) Is she considered single or common-law if she is sharing an apartment with the father of her child, even if it has been less than a year in 2021? 3) Should I be filing her 2021 tax return as she was still a dependent for 4 months? 4) Should she be filing her own 2021 tax return with her child or should she be filing a joint return with the father of her child? And for context I'm filing in Quebec! Thanks in advance, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTaxSmith Posted April 24, 2022 Report Share Posted April 24, 2022 This looks like an exam question for the CPA intro to the introductory tax course. Anyone out there want to field this? Interesting that GUEST13 can ask the questions in such an organized format. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
