SAHM Who Worked For 6 Months.

by RA
(Oregon)

I am a stay at home mom, but worked for about 6 months of the year.

We have 1 daughter.

Can my husband claim me as a dependent, since his one income supports both my daughter and myself?

Since I worked for about 6 months (4 full time, and 2 part time), I'm not sure if I can be "his" dependent since I'll be filing my tax return as well (about $10,000 worth).

*Note: we will be filing 'Married Jointly'. This question is for our next returns (2011 tax returns). We won't need to know until January 2012, but I'm curious to know..because I'm a planner and need to be organized :)

Thanks!!
