So, I have a tax question and figured just maybe others might also AND just maybe someone would know the answers.
Here's mine:
I already know I meet the requirements to claim my son as a dependent under the relatives part. I am however confused about the insurance thing as far as it asking me if we were all insured (or else you have to pay the fine).
He didn't work so no income which means he is exempt from having to have the insurance. The question asks if we were all insured (and not individually) and if I say no it charges all 3 of us for not having it.
So in a nutshell he doesn't have insurance but also isn't required to have it so the only thing that makes sense to me is to say we have insurance and claim him. Can't figure out if I'm telling the truth or not lol.
It's not a huge deal whether I claim him or not but if I do I save $600 So why not if I legally can.
