I haven't earned an income in a few years and meet all the qualifications for my partner to claim me as a dependent. We have lived together for decades and he has been supporting me the last few years but all of our financial accounts are joint/shared (in both our names). He hasn’t claimed me before, as we thought it only applied to blood related dependents.
Does having joint accounts get in the way of proving he paid more than half of my support, in the off chance his return is audited? We sometimes use my CC to pay for things, sometimes his, but we’re authorized users on each. All bills (rent, utility) get paid using the joint accounts, but the source of the money in the accounts have all been coming from him the last few years.
