Question
I have been in and out of work since I lost my job in March, and did not make much income this year. Would it be possible for my husband to claim me as a dependent if he provided most of the care and finances for me this year? Also, would that be more helpful or hurtful in terms of getting the largest return? If he can't claim me as a dependent, would it be better to file jointly or separately, taking into consideration that he has accounts in collections that may or may not try to garnish part of his refund? And who should claim our child if we live together and both cared for him equally throughout the year? Lots of questions this year!
