Yup...if they are a ward of the state they didn't qualify as a dependent, and doing so subjects you to, of course, return of any amounts you benefited ont he return, penality for doing so and underpayment, interest on the monies and even criminal charges for fraud. Of course, the unsaid but maybe even worse thing is, your then an untrusty taxpayer and nothing concerning your account (and likely prior years too), will happen without substantial review.
Generally no. Parents are jointly liable for their children - i.e., one parent's income doesn't excuse the other parent.
If you are responsible for more than 50% of their support, they are a dependent and can be claimed on your income tax as such.
Not sure about Kentucky, but in Arizona it will cause you to have to wait until you are 18. You would be personally liable for an accident you caused which could involve garnishing your income (or your parent's) for years to come. Like most things, giving up personal convenience for the public good is common sense.
for what?
If the parent is completly providing the food and shelter & responsible for the health & safety and the 23 year old is not employed nor has any income, then she and the child could both be claimed
No.
Virginia
A parent is liable of any damages their children do. The car owner is not liable for any damages caused if the vehicle was stolen.
you will have to pay your own taxes not your parents.
Liable for what? Which State? In Missouri you can be ordered to pay child support to the State if your child is a ward of the state.
no
No, at age 19, the "child" is an adult responsible for his own actions. The parent has no legal authority to make the 19 year old do what the parent wishes, therefore the parent cannot be held liable for the child's actions.
