Dependent questions (split)

[Sage11 7]

Hi,

 

I wanted to piggyback off this topic since my case is somewhat similar. My husband is the petitioner and we have a child that was born in the US. I live in Canada with our child, does my husband count our kid as a dependent? Also his mom recently relocated to his city and he’s supporting her while she finds her own place and a job. Does he also include her as a dependent since she is currently a part of his household for the time being?

Of course he counts his child living with you in Canada.  No, he does not count his ex wife as a part of his household, unless he's also planning to claim her as a dependent on his 2024 federal income tax return.

Thank you for your input pushbrk. Perhaps you misread, but my question was to ask if he is to include his mom as a member of his household? She is currently staying at his address, albeit temporarily.

No.  She is not a dependent.
