See the rules on the IRS's website at:http://www.irs.gov/publications/p501/ar02.html#en_US_publink100041829Basically, to claim you and your daughter, you must:* have lived with him for all of 2008, from 1/1/2008 to 12/31/2008* not be a qualifying child of another taxpayer. This means that if your daughter's father can claim her, your boyfriend cannot, even if her father chooses not to claim her.* not have made more than $3,500 throughout 2008* have received at least 1/2 of your support from your boyfriend. Again, if your daughter's father is providing half or more of her support, your boyfriend cannot claim her.These are all just taken from the IRS website. You should, of course, consult a tax professional for a real answer. 59 months ago
