Is a missionary considered a dependent for tax purposes? I don't think so

What if they spent 7 months at home and then 5 on the mission?

Uno Doctoro

Then yes, needs to be more than half the year

That's ok, the government asks money from us wrongfully too.

Yes. The government collecting taxes we don't agree with gives us license to lie and cheat on taxes.

Not true. A child doesn’t have to live with you if you meet the support and

A missionary doesn't meet the qualifying relative tests.

This is incorrect. Look at the entire rule, and Table 5

Goliath

This is about claiming them as a dependent. I’m not talking about qualifying

You can't legally claim them as dependents if they were on missions for six months of the year.

Not true. See my post above.

Incorrect. See my post above

Goliath is 100% correct. Take it from someone

If she is over 19 and was a full-time student or made less than $4500 you can
