I quit my job in July 2022. I am enrolled in a 1 year diploma school. My husband is paying my insurance(COBRA)and other expenses. Can he claim me as dependent?

Can my husband claim me as dependent if I have no job?

[Critter-3 · Accepted solution]

NO ... a spouse can  never be claimed as a dependent.  You simply file a joint return no matter who makes the  income.

he cobra payments can be deducted as medical expenses if the return uses itemize deductions rather than the standard deduction. only medical expenses in excess of 7.5% of adjusted gross income re deductible.
