He became unemployed at 60 yrs old in 2018 and in 2019, he has had zero income, can't find a job. He has been living with me and I am supporting him so he is not homeless. I pay for everything, food, clothing, health insurance etc. Can I claim him as a dependent?</P> Sat, 11 Jan 2020 18:31:50 GMT jcstavert 2020-01-11T18:31:50Z https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/legally-separated-questions/01/979821#M354346 <P>My husband and I legally separated in 2016.
