Please ask your question here:When does a joint return determine a dependent exemption?
Original Fast Forward Academy test bank question:
There are three tests which must be met for you to claim an exemption for a dependent. Which of the following are not requirements?
A. Citizen or Resident Test
B. Member of Household or Relationship Test
C. Disability Test
D. Joint Return Test
Explanation:
There is no disability test, so that is the correct answer. A taxpayer receives one exemption for each person claimed as a dependent. The dependent must be a qualifying child, or qualifying relative who meets the Household or Relationship Test. A dependent must be a citizen or a resident of the United States, Canada or Mexico, for some part of the year. A taxpayer cannot claim a dependency exemption for a married person who files a joint return, unless the return is filed only as a claim for refund.
