Questions And Answers
About Income Tax

Can . person who was support.
ed for less than q full year be
claimed as . dependent on ones
income tax return?
The period of time in which per
son is supported is not a factor In
determining dependency exemp
tons. To claim an exemption fol
a person other than your wife
these five tests must be met:
1. You must have furnished more
than half of the dependents sup
port for the year.
2. In taxable years beginning
after 1850, the dependents gross
income must be less than $500
($5OO in prior years..
3. The dependent must be closely
related to your.
4. The dependent must be a citi.
zen or resident of this country, OF
a resident of Canada or Mexico.
5. The dependent does not make
a joint return with her husband (or
his wife,.
Exemptions are never prorated
The full exemption is allowed ID
these five tests are met, even
though the person was supported
by the taxpayer for any period less
than a year.
For example, one uncle may sup.
port a nephew for nine months Of

the year; another uncle for The
last three months. The important
thing, in determining who car
claim his exemption, is who paid
more than half of his support? Dur
ing the three months in which the
nephew lived with the second un-
Gle, the boy may have incurred alb
normal expenses, such as hospital
and doctor bills, which exceeded
the amounts paid by the first I'M
Gle for his support.
Generally speaking, support in

cost of education, medical and den.
tai care, and other similar expen-
ses. The fact that these items are
included n the test for dependents
does not, in itself, make these ex.
penses deductible on the taxpay-
er'S return.
