I had been asked a question about claiming a spouse as a dependent when filing taxes.
On the IRS website it says:
https://www.irs.gov/uac/Six-Importan...d-Exemptions-1
Your spouse is never considered your dependent. On a joint return, you may claim one exemption for yourself and one for your spouse. If you’re filing a separate return, you may claim the exemption for your spouse only if they had no gross income, are not filing a joint return, and were not the dependent of another taxpayer.
Has anyone ever claimed a spouse as a dependent or have any thoughts on it?
It seems like a bad idea.
