the links seem to address primarily earned income credit. I'm trying to identify dependent and filing status. I seem to find conflicting information and I also get confused......... He has only SSI which tells me his SSI $$ don't count as income for tax purposes, but does it count for determining 50% expenses being pd by himself? I found where SSI doesn't count since it is not considered his income, rather it is 'welfare'. So would I be correct to assume that if welfare pays 1/2 or more of his expenses..... I probably just answered my question, huh? that if I don't pay over 1/2, regardless of where the money comes from to pay the other, I can't be H of H or dependent? Thjanks.
