Can you file for legal seperation in Tennessee?
The county clerk in my town is trying to tell me that I can not file papers with the court to become legally seperated ‘because they have never had anyone do that before.’ I need to become legally seperated for tax purposes. All of the research I have done, suggests that Tennessee does recognize legal seperation. What if I had an agreement drawn up and then we signed in front of a notary. Would that be binding?
The answer is that you know more than the county clerk.
Yes it would be legal for the purposes you want it for.

In Tennessee, can I claim the following on my income taxes?
I live in TN. My sister and mother live with me. My sister worked part time for a littler while, only for a few months, last year. Does she have to file income tax or can I claim her? (I believe there’s a minimum amount someone can make under & not have to file, I just dont know that amount is). I pay the majority of the bills. Also, my mother is on Social Security (due to her age), but I take care of her. Could I claim my mother or can you not claim someone if they draw Social Security? I’ve had a couple of people tell me that I should’ve been claiming them both for years now, but others who says I cannot claim them (legally). I only want to do it, if it will be legal.
You might be able to.
For your mom, it will come down to whether or not you pay half of her total support. You said she gets social security. If she uses that for her support, unless you contribute more to her support, you would not be able to claim her. There’s a worksheet in IRS Publication 17 on page 32 that helps determine how much support each person provided. Even if her social security isn’t taxable, you still have to count it toward her support determination if that’s how she uses it.
For your sister, if she made under $3300 gross income, you might be able to claim her – if she made over that, you can’t. Again, as with your mom, you would have to provide more than half of her total support. That’s if she’s over 18 and not a full time student, or is a full-time student and is over 23. It wouldn’t matter if she filed her own return or not.
Good luck.
