What is the name of your state? CAMy fiance and I have been living together for the last two years. We both work and each make between $25,000 to $30,000 a year. We both mutual share all expenses of our home (rent, utilitites, food, ect). Can either one of us claim the other as a dependent? Also we are getting married in May so next year we will have to file married. He does has have daughter that he pays child support would it be better to file married joint or married seperatly. Also my annual income is more than his.
