Is it legal? I ask because I heard two customers at work discussing how to max out their refunds. In fact, I've heard it a few times this month.
I guess I know it is legal if you're their guardian, but if you're not, I suppose you can't, right? I'd have no idea as I've only filed taxes two times in my life (I'm a 20 year old college student, not dodging taxes lol)
Claiming your nieces and nephews on your taxes?

Technically its not unless you take care of them and they live with you but that doesn't stop anyone. If someone is claiming them then that might put you in the hot seat.

If the child lived with them over half the year and not with a parent, it might be legal. But children can't just be passed around as tax dependents without meeting all the rules. Yes some people do it. People hold up banks and gas stations too. And get in serious trouble. For some reason, some people think it's OK to steal when it comes to taxes and the government. And they get in trouble for it too. Don't even THINK about trying

This is a guaranteed audit. The IRS audits to verify that the child actually could be claimed.
The IRS knows that not everyone who is claiming a "niece or nephew" is not related to the child, let alone live with them. If they didn't live with the child, they CANNOT get HOH, EIC or ACTC.
Fraudulent claims get the perpetrator a 20% penalty AND barred from claiming EIC based on any child for 10 years.
