dependent

Dec 01, 2007 1 Replies

If a child has previously filed taxes on his own (not a dependent) but is now eligible under the rules to be a dependent on his parents' return again (now full time in an accredited college...was not before...all other tests met) is there likely to be a problem (i.e. IRS inquiry) in now again claiming the child as a dependent?



Each tax year is different. If they qualify to be dependents of the parent, then so be it.
