Hello,
My college going son is filing as "Single", completes the Federal questionarrie for Dependant as follows:
1. Another Taypayer CAN claim me as a dependant ? YES
2. Will They ACTUALLY claim me as a dependant ? NO
I pay more than 50% of his support. But I will NOT claim him as a dependant on my taxes.
However, when TT caries forward that information to Michigan State,
the Personal exemption is reduced to $1500(9e) from $5400(9a)
as he is showed to be claimed as dependent which is not the case.
Why is TT for MI state not considering the response to the second question to accurately determine
personal exemption of $5400 for my son taxes ?
