If s/he has a working visa or is an EU citizen and can find a job, then certainly.
No not as a dependent. On the married filing joint income tax return the is an exemption on the 1040 tax form the same as the taxpayer.
The spouse, the children, and any covered adult dependent.
You may never claim your spouse as a dependent. You may, however, claim a standard exemption for your spouse if she does not have to file and you are not filing jointly (and as long as no one else is claiming her as a dependent).
That is dependent of the work history of the wife.
After marriage, you can apply for a work permit based on your spouse's visa status, if applicable. If your spouse holds a valid work visa or residency permit, you may be eligible for a dependent work permit or a spousal visa that allows you to work. Additionally, ensure you gather the necessary documentation, such as marriage certificates and proof of your spouse's status, to support your application. Always check the specific requirements and procedures for the country where you intend to work.
No. If you're Married Filing Jointly, then you're allowed one personal exemption for you and one exemption for your husband. You can't claim your spouse as a dependent. Even if you're working and your spouse isn't, you can't claim your spouse as a dependent because you're allowed to claim two personal exemptions total for the two of you as a married couple filing jointly.
That is entirely dependent on company policy.
You cannot petition them as grandparents do NOT qualify as a dependent relative/spouse. You can only petition a spouse, children, and parents.
It is asking you if you have a spouse or any children that depend on you for their livelihood.
Yes, if the spouse meets all other criteria for dependent (i.e., income, cohabitation, etc.). You must not state that the relation is "spouse," however. You can use the relation "other."
You can...and it's a double exemption most of the time.
Oh, dude, that's a tough one. Technically, if the surviving spouse never worked and was just a dependent, they wouldn't be responsible for the deceased spouse's back taxes. But hey, I'm no tax expert, so maybe double-check with someone who actually cares about this stuff. Like, good luck with all that tax drama, man.
