Can married students still be claimed as dependents on their parents' taxes?

I'll be getting married in a year after my first year of law school. Since my parents will be providing funding for my education and some living expenses during my first year of school when I can't work, can they claim me as a dependent on their taxes?Can married students still be claimed as dependents on their parents' taxes?
Yes, your parents can claim you as a dependent if you meet the requirements to be either a qualifying child or qualifying relative. However, you cannot file a joint tax return with your spouse. You and your spouse would both have to file as ';married filing separately.';

This is incorrect.





The joint return test says that married children must not file a joint return unless it is to get a refund of all taxes withheld AND there would be no tax liability for either if they filed separate returns. Report Abuse

No, if at the end of the year you are legally married, you would be filing jointly with your spouse, Your parents would no longer be able to claim you as a dependant.

In Canada , education credits can be transferred. Perhaps something similar exists where you are - Look for it under 'education deductions'
The Joint Return test was not passed. Your parents cannot claim you.
