    Default Can we file together?

    Ok here's the thing my b/f (20yrs. old, student) and I (19 yrs. old, student) are living at home with his parents. He and I were wondering if we could file our taxes together or if it was better or even possible for his parents to put him as a dependent and let my mom go ahead and put me as her dependent. We don't know what would be better in this case. .....

    No, you cannot file together since you are not married. You would have to file as single.

    His parents can claim him if he meets the standard "dependant" status. If you are not living with your mom, it would be hard for her to claim you as a dependant.

    Why don't you all just file your own taxes instead of having the parents claim you?

    ^^^ the obvious consequence is that losing dependents from their own tax returns will cost the parents more money in taxes !
