| “He supports me totally What does he file me as and what and what deductions or exemptions or breaks, i dont know what you would call me?”---> Being able to claim you as his dependent on his federal tax return is tied to a tax benefit. As a taxpayer who claims you as his dependent, he can claim an additional personal exemption for you , as his dependent, up to $3,650 for 2010. This also means that he can reduce his taxable income by $3,650 by claiming you as his dependent. To claim you as his dependent, he or you must satisfy several requirements; for instance, you, to be claimed as his dependent earns less than the personal exemption amount during the year, $3,650 for 2010. Your god father MUST provide more than half of the dependent's(your) total support during the year. If you are married, then you should not file a joint return with your spouse. He must live with you for an entire year. If your god father is single, he can still claim you as his dependent as long as he can satisfy the criteria as said above.
“also can he ammend his last taxes i dont think he put me down because he didnt realize he could somewhere?”----> Sorry , I am quite sure what you mean. However, I guess If he was a subject to a dependent exemption on you as his deponent last year, but he forgot to claim the exemption, then he can still amend file his return on Form 1040X to claim you as his dependent. He has three years from the later of the due date of the return or from the date the return was filed to amend the return
