Can I claim my 22 year old son who lives with me but decided not to go to college in 2016? I have him covered under the ACA and he is on my 1095-A.

My son made just about $20,000 income in 2016.

Unfortunately, you cannot claim him since his income was over $4050.00 in 2016. Please view the full list of filing requirements below:

  • They are not the “qualifying child” of another taxpayer or your “qualifying child”.
  • Gross Income: Dependent earns less than $4,050 in 2016.
  • Total Support: You provide more than half of the total support for the year.
  • Member of Household or Relationship: The person (a friend, girlfriend, non blood relative) must live with you all year as a member of your household or be one of the relatives that doesn’t have to live with you.
