I provide everything for fiance's 17 yr old granddaughter, who lives with us, except her medical, which her father pays. Who is entitled to her deduction as a dependent?

Her father has gone and claimed her already. I believe that I am entitled to the dependent.

Her father. The biological parents have first right to claim their children. The IRS uses the Tie Breaker Rules to determine who gets to claim a child.

My fiance lives with me and has for 3 years. He doesn't have enough income to file a tax return. Can I claim him as a dependent?
