Dependent Question

My fiance have been together for a little over a year and he has been the one to help me support both of the children. Although one of them is not his blood child I was wondering if it was still okay for him to claim Justice? If not then I can but already have everything together for him to do it.

You may be able to claim an unrelated child when both the child and their parent live in your household if the following requirements are met.

The parent is not required to file a tax return and if the parent does file it is for the refund of withholdings only
The child is a U.S citizen, U.S. resident alien, U.S. national or a resident of Canada or Mexico for some part of the year
The child lives in the household all year
You provide more than half of the support of the child
The parent had a gross income of less than $3,700 dollars in 2011

If the state law allows cohabitation and the parent meets the same guidelines as the child you may be able to claim the parent as well.

Neither the child nor the parent will qualify you for Head of Household status, Earned Income Credit or the Child Tax Credit.
