Dependent tax credit

My Wife left her Job about a month ago and will be a stay at home mom till further notice, Can I claim her as a dependent for the tax credit?

posted

No. A spouse can never be claimed as a dependent. You should be filing your tax return as Married Filing Jointly even if one spouse has little or no income.

I performed my backdoor Roth declaration incorrectly on a 2023 amendment and paid lots of taxes. How can I amend this error so that I can get my money back?
