NO. Rent or living expenses for a student would NOT be deductible on the federal 1040 income tax return.
No
Yes as long he and you meet the qualifications for you claim him as your qualifying child dependent on your income tax return. He would have to file his own income tax return reporting his own income and he would not be able to claim himself for exemption amount on his own income tax return.
Unemployment income does not effect your dependents and your ability to claim them on your return. As long as you meet the other requirement to claim your children then you can certainly claim them.
As a dependent on another taxpayers income tax return you would not be qualified to claim the education benefits.
Everyone is allowed to file an individual tax return, whether they are a dependent or not. Even if you are a dependent, you are required to file your own tax return if you have sufficient income to require the filing of a tax return. There is one exception: If a child under 18 (24 if a fulltime student) has income ONLY from interest and dividends and has income under $9500 (in 2009), the parents may report the dividends and interest on Form 8814 instead of filing a return for the child if they wish. And even if you are not required to file a return, you are allowed to file a return, whether you are a dependent or not. You would want to file a return if you had tax withheld from your salary or from other payments or are eligible for a refundable tax credit. If you choose not to file, you will eventually forfeit your refund. With the one exception noted above, your parents (or whoever is claiming you as a dependent) are not allowed to claim your income or your refund on their tax return.
does my spouse have to claim my workers disability pension on his income tax return
No. Qualifying earned income is required. Income that you work for.
Yes!
On your federal income taxes, you are allowed to claim a mortgage interest deduction for your principal residence and one other residence of your choice. It does not have to be in the same state. In addition, you are allowed to claim the interest on all rental or business properties.
YES the interest income will have to be reported on your 1040 federal income tax return along with all of your other gross worldwide income and would be subject to income tax at your marginal tax rate. And it is also possible that some of the settlement amount could also be taxable income to you.
No. My mother would not let me let you claim her on your income tax return. Even if I could claim my mother on my return I would not let you claim her on your return. My mother will be claiming herself on her own return. Nice try though. If you are interested in possibly claiming your own mother on your own return, I would recommend reading the Form 1040 instructions for line 6c, step 4. In a nutshell, if your mother lived with you all year, had minimal income, and you provided over half her support, you may be eligible to claim your mother on your return.
