If you are the sole person responsible for a disabled adult can you declare him on your income tax as a dependent if he is 27 years old?

You can only do this when you and this disabled adult meet all of the necessary rules that have to met for you to be able to claim this disabled adult as your qualifying relative dependent on your 1040 income tax return. For all of the rules go to the IRS.gov web site and use the search box for PUBLICATION 17 go to chapter 3


How do you claim a non related dependent on your taxes?

If they aren't a qualified child or a qualified relative, as defined, you can't claim them.


Can you claim as a dependent a disabled non-relative housemate if you paid more that 60 percent of her living expenses?

A person can claim head of household only if the dependent is related, almost any relationanything but a cousin. You can not claim head of household if they are not related. Yes, you would have to file head of household. This is perfectly legitimate and quite common. The person you are claiming as your dependent COULD NOT claim his/herself on their own separate tax return. Speaking from my experience as a tax examiner, I would try to not complicate matters by providing too much information, aside from that required on the "dependents claimed" lines. Additionally, I wouldn't include any superfluous handwritten or typed correspondence outside of the typical standard forms regarding the nature of the dependant, aside from non-relative. I wouldn't necessarily qualify your support of this individual as a percentage, if you said you paid the "majority" of an individual's expenses it would be less open to confusion and scrutiny. 60% is a majority, after all. One down-side is if the individual you plan claim is receiving social security benefits, the benefits might be subject to a living adjustment since you are easing the individual's burden. Once again, it would pay to be vague. I doubt seriously anything would be affected retroactively, it depends largely on the information the dependant included on his/her social disability claim, that is if he/she even submitted one. Trying to simplify - to claim as a dependent, regardless of how you file - the dependent must be a "qualifying" (strictly defined) child or relative (2 different catagories), that isn't claimed by anyone else, including themselves on their own return. It would seem you have no chance.

Can you claim as a dependent on your California state income tax return a disabled non-relative housemate if you provide the majority of their care?

Yes. For California tax purposes, a Qualifying Person as a dependent is either a Qualifying Child or a Qualifying Relative. You can claim a non-relative housemate as a Qualifying Relative dependent on your California income tax return. The IRS allows you to claim Head of Household status for a non-relative Qualifying Relative.But blood relationship is required for Head of Household status on a California income tax return. So you might be able to file Head of Household on your federal tax return but your status would be Single on your California tax return.For more information on individual tax returns, go to the California Franchise Board website at www.ftb.ca.gov/individuals. You also can contact the Tax Board at 1-800-852-5711.

Can a handicapped child not living at home be a dependent?

If the parents are paying over a certain percentage of the expenses, believe the child could still be declared as dependent. Strange as it sounds...probably not a qualifying child...but presuming you meet the income and support tests...they may be a qualifying relative. And they may well qualify for dependent care credit (not the same as a dependency deduction).
