Tekashi is currently dating his girlfriend Sara. Sara does not have a job, nor does she go to school. Sara also has no income. Tekashi pays $10,000 towards Saras support and she lives with him during the entire year. Sara does not contribute to his own support.

1. Can Tekashi claim Sara as a qualifying child or qualifying relative dependent?

2. Tekashi has no children or possible dependents other than Sara. What is Tekashis filing status?

3.What if Saras mistress, Jenny, pays $10,002 towards Saras financial support? Does Sara still qualify as his dependent?

4. What if Sara only lives with Tekashi for 160 days of the year?

The taxation is for the United States.

Edit: I'll do it myself. /thread
