Can me and my husband claim our son whoisin college. We send money every month $440, but his mom claims him on her return.

[CarolynM · Accepted solution]

Unlikely. Only one parent can claim a dependent on their tax return and they must meet all of the following: 

 *           be your child (or adoptive or foster child), sibling, niece, nephew or grandchild; 

*            be under age 19, or under age 24 and a fulltime student for at least five months of the year; or be permanently                 disabled, regardless of age; 

*            have lived with you for more than half the year; and

*            have provided no more than half his or her own support for the year 

Therefore, if his mother is providing the majority of his support and he lives with her when he is not in school, she is the proper person to claim him as a dependent.
