If the spouse (you) had zero income, he could claim your exemption as if you were a dependent on a married filing separate return. He cannot claim your son as a dependent if he lived with you for more than the last half of the year.&nbsp;</P><P>Since you have already filed your tax return, his return would be rejected if he files trying to claim you and your son as a dependent.</P><P>If he tries to claim your son as a dependent by mailing his return, the IRS may require you both to provide documentation. The IRS would review the documentation and determine who gets your son as a dependent. If this happens (and maybe just in case) you should gather the following documentation:</P><UL> <LI>Rent receipts</LI> <LI>Utility bills</LI> <LI>School records for your child (if applicable)</LI> <LI>Doctors notes, or a pastors note.</LI> <LI>Notes from neighbors, or third party people that the child lives with you</LI> <LI>Anything you can come up with the proves the child was with you.</LI> </UL> Sat, 01 Jun 2019 04:34:55 GMT https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/no-he-can-t-spouses-cannot-be-claimed-as-a-dependent-i/01/103759#M43925 Phillip1 2019-06-01T04:34:55Z
