Should I let my common law husband claim me on his tax forms?
To understand why I am asking this you have to read my other question I posted last night.
I see maybe 500 of that money...the rest go to pa for his stuff or house.
Do I have to be claimed on his taxes?
I dont want to be.
Can he claim me without my permission?
Answer:
Why shouldn't he claim you if he can? If he is supporting you you will see the money in his support. If it good for both of you!
He can't claim you without you signing the tax form. If he signs your name you can file charges against him. File your own tax form and keep the money.
If you live in the house, if he pays for your living expensese, if youre married, then yeah, he should claim you.
If you dont live with him, or have been separated for the bulk of the year, then he cant claim you.
Thats american law, i dont know what it is for you canooks.
you dont have to let him claim you. I live in pa, and I let my b/f claim me. But he cant do it without your permisson. that would be tax fraud
You should let him claim you on his taxes. The government could find out and charge you extra $$$$ for years past. If he Oops when he's at the tax office (mentioning you as his wife) then they'll make him claim you. That's what happened to me anyways.
IF YOU LIVE WITH YOUR COMMON LAW HUSBAND AND DON'T WORK, YES HE CAN CLAIM YOU, IF YOU DO WORK, YOU CAN CHOOSE TO CLAIM YOUR SELF, BUT HE WILL GET HEAD OF HOUSE HOLD. THE BEST BET FOR THE MOST MONEY IS TO LET YOUR COMMON LAW HUSBAND CLAIM YOU UNLESS YOU WILL GET BACK MORE FOR YOUR TAXES WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO CLAIM HEAD OF HOUSE, OR UNLESS IT'S MORE THEN WHAT HE WILL GIVE YOU. IF YOU LIVE IN HIS HOUSE FOR MORE THEN 6 MONTHS OUT OF THE YEAR, HE HAS LEGAL RIGHTS TO CLAIM YOU.
Dont let him know your social secruity number...Those tax places needs that info. I can say this much before me and my husband were married he claimed our son (But not me for special reasons) without me signing or seeing anything about my son while he was filing his taxes but i had given him the baby's SSN# and told him to claim him and he gave me the whole tax return. That is how it works in my home -i get all the money-
If he knows your social security number and you have lived with him for 6 or more months then yea he can claim you but you can make it not happen though by telling the tax place or threaten him that you will turn him in for claiming you.
I seen from your other question that you don;t work so you couldn't file income tax.
I wish you luck, i would check out all of this stuff before the w2's gets sent out not too long form now.
He cannot claim you unless you put your signature on it.
Personally, I wouldn't want to be on ANY one elses taxes. If they are behind on their taxes or are audited and found delinquent on anything, you too can pay the high price.
If he ever lied about something on his taxes, you would be held responsible as well, if your name s on it.
I say, don't do it unless you trust him without question.
He can't claim you without you signing the forms...you are better off to claim as singles. If you son't make much money you can get better tax breaks. Look into it on the Revenue Canada website. If he does claim you without your permission he is breaking the law. check their website www.cra-arc.gc.ca
