Question
My 27 year old son was injured in the military . I want to know if I can take him off my taxes as a dependant?
He owes the government a debt for an unpaid credit card. I pay all his living expenses. He's going to college with help from the VA. He made no income last year.

Your question is unclear. If he is your son, lives with you and you provide his support, and he earns less than $3400, you can claim him as a dependent. There are worksheets for figuring out if you provide his support, taking into account any military pay, disability payments, etc. which he receives. If you don't want to claim him as a dependent, you simply don't put him down on your tax return.

Since he is your son, you paid over 50% of his support for the year, and he didn't have gross income of $3400 or more, yes you can claim him as a qualifying relative.
