I have a child over 18 years, how can my child legally prove they are still dependent on me?

first you tell it to them then you do what you told them

If they are in school as a full-time student or have a physical or mental disability.

Your child should be proving their independence of you.

LazlaHollyfeld

It depends on the purpose for which you need such proof. For Financial Aid, if they are a student, that's enough. For other purposes, such as TANF, there is a rule, and nothing matters but which box the worker checks. If he is disabled (legally) no other proof is necessary.

Check with the agency or organization to which you are trying to prove it, and find out their definition of "dependent."

For federal and state taxes, by the way, "dependent" is clearly spelled out in the instructions. (If you provide more than half of the money for his care and he lives with you for 1 day more than half the year, and is a full-time student or disabled, that usually--but READ THE DOCS--means "dependent.")

If you claim them on your taxes as a dependent, and they file their taxes (if they are working), showing that they are dependent on you. Speak with a tax advisor to make sure you're doing it correctly. If its for a medical reason, you can get a letter of medical necessity from your child's doctor.

It's a lot easier to prove if he or she is a full time student or has a physical or mental illness.

Thru applying for aid in school. They are still dependent till they are 25, married, have a child, legally emancipated, or in the military.

I believe if you claim them on your tax return, you can legally prove it....but I think you can only do this until they are 21. This is what my parents did with my sister. Good luck!

STIFLE IT LIBS

The "child" can't.Unless he is disabled,put a boot in the kids buttocks and make him/her fend for life like an adult.
I got a thumbs down,i reckon that is a sign of the" DO AS YOU PLEASE"Mentality of dumbed down America.

If they work or you pay their medical cost I believe that you can claim them. As long as they do not work, if they file their own taxes then it gets very confusing and they can only make a certain amount.

What does this have to do with immigration?

went right

I assume you are doing this to get some type of incentive or something, and NOT TO FORCE DRUG your child... but well over the years to come there will be major GOVERNMENTAL CHANGES that are going to be taking place. But well first we need to consider what is teh issue of "dependence" I mean when I was that age I was in college and so I guess by certain standards I was still "dependent" on my parents thus I qualified for insurance benefits or some jazz like that... but I think in deed we all are going to have to be more dependent on some levels... I mean are we buying things beyond our basic needs, is a first question...... there is a lot that can be said maybe if you provide more details well... maybe you could get more of a precise answer....

hazydaze

If he/she is still in school/college then they are considered your dependent but otherwise they are considered on independent.

Mike

I guess if they live at home and are without work...but besides that I think they're just considered an adult and that's it.

Easy if you claim them on your taxes
