Can my husband claim me if I didn't make any money in 2015

[brocksarahray]

I'm a stay at home mother and I was wondering since I made no money what so ever if he can claim me as a dependent? if so does he file married jointly or married separate or what?

[xmasbaby0 · Accepted solution]

Married Filing Jointly is usually better, even if one spouse had little or no income. When you file a joint return, you and your spouse will each receive the $4000 personal exemption, plus the married filing jointly standard deduction of $12,600 (add $1250 for each spouse over the age of 65).  You are eligible for more credits including education credits, earned income credit, child and dependent care credit, and a larger income limit to receive the child tax credit.

Note: You do not “claim” a spouse as a dependent.

another question, do I add me in the dependent part? or will me putting unemployed enough.
