If he is your assistant and works for you.
-
if you did voulenteer work at a dog shelter you could claim that
-
Only if he has a social security number and no one else is claiming him.

Hey, good question. If you get an affirmative answer let me know. I'll claim my dog and my cats too. They act like children and they cost me as much as children would, so why not claim them?

As a tax professional with knowledge of history, I know that a few people actually did claim pets prior to the dependency crack-down of 1986. Returns filed after that date required filers to list the social security numbers of their dependents, and suddenly 7 million dependents vanished overnight, increasing tax revenue by an unexpected $3 billion. So, if Spot has a birth certificate (non-Cabbage Patch variety) and social security card... then someone in our government isn't paying attention.

You might could if you were claiming non-profit farming and he was one of the animals that was part of it all.

Not unless he made over 3000.00 dollars which is more than I can say for my lazy mooching brother-in-law.
