Do I have to file taxes if I have no earned income? I did not receive gifts either. Only recieved food stamps and cash assistance from the county. Also, can fiancé claim me, and if so, will I need to file so she can? Thank you.
State aid is not entered on a tax return. If you have received no income of any kind then there is no reason or need to file a tax return
To be claimed as a non-relative dependent you must meet all the requirements under the Qualifying Relative rules.
To be a Qualifying Relative -
1. The person cannot be your qualifying child or the qualifying child of any other taxpayer. A child is not the qualifying child of any other taxpayer if the child's parent (or any other person for whom the child is defined as a qualifying child) is not required to file an income tax return or files an income tax return only to get a refund on income tax withheld.
2. The person either (a) must be related to you or (b) must live with you all year as a member of your household.
3. The person's gross income for the year must be less than $4,050 (social security does not count) in 2017
4. You must provide more than half of the person's total support for the year.
5. The person must be a U.S. citizen or a U.S., Canada, or Mexico resident for some part of the year.
6. The person must not file a joint return with their spouse.
