Yes, she does - if she is employed and earning her own money.
Absolutely, positively not.Whether your parents or anyone else claims you as a dependent has absolutely no effect on your obligation or ability to file taxes. Some people mistakenly believe that if your parents claim you as a dependent, they claim your income, your withholding and your refund, too. This is absolutely not true.People who make more than a certain amount are obligated to file taxes. However, ANYONE is permitted to file taxes. If you are due a refund, you must file taxes in order to get the refund. Your parents cannot get your refund for you. Whether your parents can claim you as a dependent has absolutely nothing to do with you. You must file your own taxes for your own income and withholdings. And if you owe taxes, you are obligated to file and pay them.

My son didn't file taxes last year 2011. is he still able to claim any of his 2011 taxes along with his 2012 taxes in 2013?
You don't claim a spouse as a dependent. If you are married you have only two option to legally file your taxes. These are Married Filing Joint and Married Filing Separately. Married Filing Jointly is where you file together and you don't file a spouse as a dependent but you still receive all benefits as if they were a dependent. You will get a higher Standard Deduction and get two exemptions plus any other dependents you may have. Married Filing Separately requires both of you to file the same way and each has to enter the other spouses social security number on their return. You can't file the spouse as a dependent this way.
Your wife is not a dependent, however, you can file a joint return (meaning that you and your wife file a single tax return for both of you) which will effectively give you a tax benefit for supporting your wife (assuming that you do support her).
You should always file a tax return. If your children are dependent upon you, yes, you would claim them on your taxes. There are many free tax services available to assist you with your questions and in filing out forms.
No, if both spouses were claimed as dependents on their parents' taxes, they would not be able to file jointly as married. They would likely not qualify as dependents on their parents' taxes anymore once they are married and establishing their own household.
Yes, you can claim your daughter as a dependent on your taxes if she meets the qualifying criteria, including being a full-time student for at least five months of the year and living with you for more than half of the year. However, there are additional eligibility requirements to consider, such as her age and financial support. It is recommended to consult a tax professional for specific advice.
There is no exemption from income taxes because of age. Being claimed as a dependent does not make your child exempt from taxes. Regardless of age or dependent status, if your child has sufficient income she must file her own tax return.To claim "exempt" on her W-4 at work, BOTH of the following statements must be true:1) She owed no taxes last year. All taxes that were withheld (if any) were refunded.2) She reasonably expects to owe no taxes this year.
