Note 1:  Claiming Dependents

This is an anonymous entry regarding 2008

I am currently being audited by the IRS and since I am, I asked the auditor about how to handle my missionaries on my tax returns.

The IRS indicated we should not claim the missionary as a dependent. The definition of dependent becomes more restrictive as the child ages. We can claim any monthly amount that appears on our tithing statement on schedule A.
