Question

My domestic partner started a new business in 2021. I've financially supported for over half our living expenses, would this situation qualify as me having a dependent?

Your domestic partner may meet the definition of a qualifying relative that you would be able to claim on your tax return if the following conditions are met:

  1. They are not the qualifying child of someone else.
  2. They lived with you all year
  3. They had a gross income of less than $4,300
  4. You provided over half the living expenses (which we know you did)

Please note that this person would not qualify you for Head of Household status.
