Many parents have claimed their mar ried cliildren as dependents only U> -have them disallowed by IRS evon though the parent furnish ed the child's c-hief support. J. E. Wail, District Director, says that -this situation comes about when the child signs a joint return with his or her spouse. He stated that when a taxpayer files a joint return he may not be claimed as a depend ent by another regardless of who furnislKa chief support. Wall also said that the filing of a joint re- lurn becomes irrevocable after the due date for the return (April 15) has passed. He added,! however, that if a joint return te filed by a husband and wife onlj^ for the purpose of receiving a )«fund of tax with held and that neither the hus band or wifelhaf gross income of $600 Or motfe during the year, then the parent is entitled to claim his married child if he is entitled to the credit.
