My nephews been living with me over 2yrs but they still uses they moms address will I be able to carry them on my taxes

Are they staying with you solely to go to a better school?

[VolvoGirl]

Is their mother or father going to claim them?

"they still use they moms address" Something doesn't sound right here.

No they goes to the same school but they catches the bus from my house when no their mom and dad isn't claiming them neither of them works...

How are these children supported?  Who do they actually live with?  Who buys their food and clothing?

That did not really answer the questions.

[user79910000]

For the first questions no they still attending they old school for the second question no the parents are not claiming them neither of them works and for the last question they had to continue using they address in order for them to continue going to sterling they just catches the bus from my home of residents

The boys actually stay with me I supports them right along with daughter

[SweetieJean]

Where do they stay on weekends, school vacations, during the summer, etc?

[user79910000]

With me

It sounds like you can claim therm as dependents.

However, aware that school districts are cracking down on students who do not live where they say they do (i.e., their mother's address).
