no
the code book or instruction book is available online at the irs.Is ones spouse who is currently a student a eligible dependent for taxes? Even if you are not legally married?
If you aren't legally married, the person is not your spouse.
But the person might be eligible to be claimed as a dependent. If the person lived with you all year, AND their total gross income for the year was under $3500, AND you provided over half of their total support for the year, you can probably claim them. If your relationship violates any state or local ordinance, you can't though whether the law is currently enforced or not - and believe it or not there are still several states and many areas with laws on the books with laws against cohabitation by unmarried couples.
1. In many cases, a marriage in a religious ceremony is also a legal marriage.
2. If you legal marry (in a religious ceremony, or otherwise), you cannot file separately and claim each other. For one legal spouse to claim the other, a joint return most be filed.
3. In many cases (with many exceptions), unmarried students and students who are filing separately are dependents of their parents. Students are usually only dependents of themselves or they spouses if they are married and filing jointly.
What state are you in? Believe it or not, there are still a few states that recognize man/woman common law marriages and that IRS would accept that as legal.
If you are not in one of those states or the marriage is same-sex, it's not good enough for filing married.
You would have to go the qualifying relative rules and those are fairly strict.
umm well there not your spouse if your NOT married ,
and if they where they can only be a dependent if there a Child , or have a Disability ,
but ask your tax man or H%26amp;R block or something
Can you tell me how a religious ceremony is not a legal marriage?
