If parents don’t claim their child as a dependent, can the child take a personal exemption?
The IRS website says “one exemption per taxpayer unless he/she can be claimed as a dependent by another person”. I thought at first yes, they can take a personal exemption because the parents aren’t claiming them but technicallyyy parents can claim them, they just chose not to.
So can he/she take the personal exemption or not?
