My friend is disabled and classified by the gov. as an adult/child. Can i claim him on my taxes?


my friend is 44yrs old and is 100% disabled due to mental desiese and is classified by the government as an adult child. he receives disability every month and does not work. he has lived with me the whole 2006 tax year. can i claim him on my taxes?

Yes, if you meet the following tests:

1. He lived with you for ALL of 2006.

2. He had less than $3,300 in gross income. Non-taxable Social Security does not count for the gross income test.

3. He is not the "qualifiying child" of another taxpayer. Due to his disability, he may be a qualifying child of a parent or sibling.

4. You provided more than 50% of his support. Source(s): IRS Pub 501
Call a tax pro (not the h & r block people).
I would guess that you could claim him but in doing so you would have to claim His 'income' too.
Since he is alrleady in the 'system' it is unlikely that his social security number would sneak by the IRS.
SOme of the disability programs are based on need (ssi) and if you claim him as a dependant this could count AGAINST him in terms of the money he is able to collect.

I had a friend who was on SSI she watched a child in her home and the child's mother used her social security number to claim a deduction on her taxes. This caused my friend the ssi recipeint to have to pay back the money that she earned in excess of the guidelines
do his parents claim him?
if you've paid for at least 50% of his bills, then i believe you can. but if his SSI check pays for everything he needed, then he might have to get someone to file his own. go on the website for the IRS. there should be an answer there,
If you have provided over half of his support, then you can claim him. If his disability income is SSI or SSD, it wouldn't count toward the gross income test that says his gross income must be under $3300. His disability income would count when you figure whether or not you provided over half of his total support.
