If your supporting them more they are you can file

Shes your child…you claim her.

They will get in trouble not you.

They cannot claim her…

They cannot do that.

You should find a way to move out

You have every right to refuse

No. Claim your child. They just want the money.

If they are that dirty, id leave and not look back

Just tell your parents that you have already claimed her.

They have to claim the money you pay them gor rent as income. Get reciepts.

No they cant claimtjem. They dont support them…or you.

They have no right to claim her. Unless u give them consent. Even tho my daughter lived with me she claim her kids. They just want more money

Claim her first before they file their taxes

I say no! They cannot!

I think the parents are wrong talk to a tax expert

No. She is your dependent, your daughter… You do not have to let them claim her. Unless they already have and know that if you do, they may be in trouble.

Are you paying rent.

They can’t claim your child. Period!

Sorry this won’t be a advice comment but how do u get ur fan questions posted and anonymous

They’re not allowed to claim her and if they do you can report it and still get your taxes/stimulus payments.

Your baby, your taxes :+1:t4:

No. They can not claim your child

Claim your daughter, if your parents do the same the IRS will correct them.

Thay could toss her out of the house.

You are not head of house… They are

Get your own place. Voila!

Your parents are lying to you. That’s sad and pathetic

Nope. Not their child.

Wow so wrong you go mom she’s your baby

No it not right period

No one has a right to claim your child but the parents to the child

Your parents lied to you

Uh get the dad to send you a plane ticket maybe.

I’m wondering if mom is referring to stimulus money rather than income tax. I agree that grandparent would have to show proof of support in order to claim grand child in either case.

Well if your husband is supporting you and your child, and you say you are paying rent, groceries ,food and for everything for you and your daughter, you said you are a stay at home mom right ! Then why don’t you move out in your own ,find your own place ! There is more to this story for sure !

When my oldest was a baby both me and her were on my mom’s insurance. She had the right to claim both of us as dependents bc we were on her insurance and thw insurance would’ve taken both of us off of her policy if she didnt claim us so it really just depends on circumstances

Wow almost every one on here has no clue what the hell there talking about yes they can claim her and you as dependents you live in there house hold and no they don’t have to share any money with you.

Yes u live in their home how u gonna claim her u just also said ur a stay at home mom. When do moms get an income

I think of you can’t claim her and the father can’t claim her why not let them. They have been letting you live with them I’m sure the rent you pay is not what you would be paying if you got your own place. Yes you help around the house and what not but why not let them benefit and recoup some of their costs for you being there? When I lived with my grandma for a about a year I let her claim one of my kids to help her out. Even though I was paying rent, helping her with other Bill’s and buying food. Like what is your hang up, if you give permission it’s not fraud. Idk what the rules are where you live, but where I live if the child lives with a person’s for 6 months and one day they can claim that child on their taxes. No matter how you look at it they are helping you, return the favor.

As long as mom is living with parents on military base, under 25yrs old and no job, military member can (needs to) claim her and her daughter. They need to do this in order to qualify for home with enough bedrooms.
Otherwise, if only her parents, they would only qualify for 1 bdrm home (on base)

if you are a stay at home mom what income are you claiming? you have to make a min of (i think) $3000 to even get money back.

I’m pretty sure they have the right to claim both of you but not if you claim him yes it’s legal for them to call a tax person the house belongs to them if you’re not happy with their decision you should leave they are letting you live there so give them credit for that where would you be if not it’s your right first in claiming her but you don’t work then it’s their right to claim both I’ve been thur this so I know don’t take anyone’s opinion on it just call a tax person

No, they cannot claim your child IF you can prove you supported her.

Only way is if they have your permission

IRS code states that parents claim their children unless a relative can prove more than 50% of said child’s support. If the child’s biological father (regardless of citizenship) is the one providing support, he is legally the one that should claim the child for tax purposes. I don’t speak for the other country’s code, but that’s how it works in the US. Generally, with proof of financial support, they must also have signed documents (Form 8332) for consent from parent to claim the child and proof of them being at the residence for more than 6 months of the year as well.

Irs requires your signature to sign off on someone else claiming your child every year

Sounds like they’re trying to commit tax fraud and frightening you into believing they’re in the right. Get a lawyer.

Cant claim her without your permission

They have no right to claim her

Did you file taxes and claim her? This is what thenirs says for 2019 taxes: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i1040gi.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwidrNn_uIDrAhVHgp4KHT-UDRcQFjAAegQIAxAB&usg=AOvVaw3R_ue63lhXzUon9SjHqCqZ

Starting at page 16…

If the baby’s dad fully supports them and she’s at home with baby why can’t she be in her own house??? This shit don’t add up? If he makes enough to support himself at home and a family overseas she wouldn’t be living with her parents. My daughter lived at home with her son for 6 months and we never charged her anything. We kept our pumpkin at night while she worked and if we noticed either of them needing something we bought it. Glad I have a good relationship with my kids because I will never be in a situation like this.

Bullshit, she is your dependent they just want some extra cash, I wouldnt let them if they haven’t even babysat her

Call the IRS and ask them instead of relying on Facebook! You will get answers your answers a lot better than a bunch of random strangers that don’t know shit(like myself)

That’s bullshit, don’t believe it.

IRS will go with the parents

Thay cannot claim her without your permission . She is your dependent, not theirs

Do you pay rent? That roof, AC and heat cost $$. Could you make it on your own? If not grin and bear.

They can add you both as dependents, I believe but only you can claim earned income on her.

You claim your child they will not get in trouble

They have every legal right to claim her seeings how you are living under their roof! You dont want them claiming her an keeping the money then move out an grow up. It’s time to be an adult you have a child of your own so stop acting like a damn child🤦‍♀️

If I couldn’t claim my kid I would let my mom claim her but my mom would also give me like $1000 out of her return which is more than the nothing I would get for not filing at all.

I was just reading through the IRS website and it says that if a parent is claiming their adult child still then they can also claim the child’s child. Mom says her parents don’t provide financial care for their daughter, but they might still be able to claim HER because she lives in the house and I think, unfortunately, that gives them the right to also claim the baby. She didn’t mention school but if mom is still a student her parents can claim her up until the age of 24, if she has been living at home for 6 months or longer.

Definitely call the IRS and ask for their advice. It could actually be perfectly legal for them to claim her child. Would it be right since they don’t financially support either of them? No… But that doesn’t mean they won’t try.
I think the only way to make sure her parents don’t claim her is to file for herself first and claim the child because two people can’t claim the same person. However, I’m not sure if she’s worked at all to qualify.

It seems like a tricky situation all around

If you are paying them rent to live there then you claim your child but if they support you it would only be fair to let them claim the child.

If you are working and filing taxes then you claim her because you are the one paying for her care. If you can’t since the father is sending you money for her needs he should be the one to do it. Your parents aren’t paying for anything for her so they have no right to claim her in my opinion. Unless they plan on giving you the money they get back for her I wouldn’t do it. My moms ex actually put me out with my kids for this exact reason…he told me he could get an 10,000 for my kids and I said hell no

If they do nothing for her then no they aren’t obligated to anything. Sounds like blackmail.

YOU are legally the one to claim your daughter. I would do so and let the IRS sort it out!

How are you a stay at home mom with an income? Where do you make your money?

Hell no do NOT let them claim her. If they don’t buy anything, watch her, or support her do NOT let them do it. At this point it’s like y’all are roommates sharing the same house. Would you let your roommate claim her? You will not get in trouble since they do not support her. File ASAP and whatever you do, do NOT give them her social

I dont see how they have any right to claim her or how exactly you would be getting i to trouble by claiming her. I would talk to someone who files taxes in your state to get some real legal answers.

You will not get in trouble and the only way they can claim your child is if they have her social security number. They shouldn’t have that so dont give it to them. And unless they are willing to give you some of the money then they have no reason to claim the child. You need to find a 0art time job so you can file your own taxes and claim your own child. Look into shipt, instacart, amazon flex. All good 1099 that you can work whenever you want.

Yes it’s very wrong they can’t claim so don’t let them

File your own claim your the one who supports her dont let them take that from you

No. They can get in trouble if they claim her!

It would be illegal for them to claim her

If they don’t help you in any way they don’t need to be claiming her. I’m sorry honey, but they’re being selfish; you’re not going to get in trouble with the IRS. As long as you can file next year I think you should be okay

They can’t claim her unless they had custody. It would fire back on them. It’s crazy they would even say that to you.

In a perfect world, If you pay rent and buy your daughter everything then you should be the one claiming her but like you said you live with your parents because you have know where else to go. Will they kick you out if you don’t allow them to claim your child? Is a extra $1500 in tax money worth being kicked out and having no where to go with your child?

I would not do that to my daughter. Her & my grandson live with us. I do not charge her rent or anything. She works & buys here self & her son what they need. I do buy the majority of the groceries but she buys other things for the home when needed such as cleaning supplies , t paper, laundry soap etc…

I do buy things for my grandson but not as a necessity just because I want to!!

My daughter files her own taxes & claims her son. The only thing she doesn’t do is claim head of household… If she did & got caught I’m sure she could get in a lot of trouble

The IRS can audit them if you clan her they can get in trouble because that’s your child you have every right to claim her. The IRS can make them pay that money back it belongs to you and your child

Do you file taxes? If so, you claim her not them.
Also, they have to show they are responsible for i believe its 60 percent of her expenses.

Theyre just trying to get money out of you and use her for money. She is your daughter so you claim her. Do NOT let them claim anything to do with her.

Do not let them claim her. She is your child. Claim her, and if they end up claiming her on top of that they will be the ones in trouble not you!! They are just trying to mulipate you, because they want some extra money. You are her mother you have every single right to her!
