Can you claim your spouse as a dependent? 🤔
Answer: ❌ No, you can’t!

Here’s why: The IRS sees your spouse as your partner, not a dependent. When you’re married, you file Married Filing Jointly or Married Filing Separately meaning both of you are taxpayers, not one claiming the other.

🔍 Dependents are usually children or qualifying relatives you support not your spouse.

But the good news: filing jointly with your spouse gives you the highest standard deduction and better tax benefits!
