Why with 4K in income are you even paying anyone to do your taxes?
Now, just to let you know the Dependent Question was quite a valid one. per the IRS you do not have to be SOLELY dependent on him. If he provides more than 1/2 of your support you could be considered his dependent.
IRS Code 152 Dependent Definition
A. General Definition In general terms, dependent means any of the following individuals over half of whose support, for the calendar year in which the taxable year of the taxpayer begins, was received from the taxpayer (or is treated under subsection C or E as received from the taxpayer):
(9) an individual (other than an individual who at any time during the taxable year was the spouse, determined without regard to Code 7703, of the taxpayer) who, for the taxable year of the taxpayer, has as his principal place of abode the home of the taxpayer and is a member of the taxpayers household
- So it could be seen that since you are living with your BF, he could be considered supporting you. Living Expenses include EVERYTHING..yes this includes rent and utilities. If he is paying for the rent and utilities, that alone could put you into the Dependent Category.
Now with 4K in Salary is the IRS probably going to go after you..probably not and the chances are you will be just fine. But if they do, you could be in some issues for any back taxes, and if this does effect your Student Loans you may have other issues.
