2120 Multiple Support Declaration

Note: The draft you are looking for begins on the next page.

Caution: DRAFT—NOT FOR FILING

This is an early release draft of an IRS tax form, instructions, or publication,
which the IRS is providing for your information. Do not file draft forms. We
incorporate all significant changes to forms posted with this coversheet.
However, unexpected issues occasionally arise, or legislation is passed—in this
case, we will post a new draft of the form to alert users that changes were made
to the previously posted draft. Thus, there are never any changes to the last
posted draft of a form and the final revision of the form. Forms and instructions
are subject to OMB approval before they can be officially released, so we post
drafts of them until they are approved. Drafts of instructions and pubs usually
have some additional changes before their final release. Early release drafts are
at IRS.gov/DraftForms and remain there after the final release is posted at
IRS.gov/LatestForms. Also see IRS.gov/Forms.
Most forms and publications have a page on IRS.gov: IRS.gov/Form1040 for
Form 1040; IRS.gov/Pub501 for Pub. 501; IRS.gov/W4 for Form W-4; and
IRS.gov/ScheduleA for Schedule A (Form 1040), for example, and similarly for
other forms, pubs, and schedules for Form 1040. When typing in a link, type it
into the address bar of your browser, not a Search box on IRS.gov.
If you wish, you can submit comments to the IRS about draft or final forms,
instructions, or pubs at IRS.gov/FormsComments. Include “NTF” followed by the
form or pub number (for example, “NTF1040”, “NTFW4”, “NTF501”, etc.) in the
body of the message to route your message properly. We cannot respond to all
comments due to the high volume we receive and may not be able to consider
many suggestions until the subsequent revision of the product, but we will
review each “NTF” message. If you have comments on reducing paperwork and
respondent (filer) burden, with respect to draft or final forms, please respond to
the relevant information collection through the Federal Register process; for
more info, click here.

Instructions
What’s New
Enhanced deduction for seniors. If you were born before January 2, 1961, you
may be eligible for an enhanced deduction for seniors. Your deduction will be
limited if your modified adjusted gross income is more than $75,000 ($150,000 if
married filing jointly). For more information, see the Instructions for Form 1040.
Exemption deduction terminated for certain exemptions. The deduction for
certain personal exemptions other than the enhanced deduction for seniors is
terminated for tax years after 2017 by P.L. 119-21, commonly known as the One
Big Beautiful Bill Act.
Although taxpayers can’t claim a deduction for exemptions, other than the
enhanced deduction for seniors, eligibility for the exemption remains important for
determining who may claim the credit for other dependents, as well as other tax
benefits. See Pub. 501 for details.

Purpose of Form

3. No one alone paid over half of that person’s support.
4. The other dependency tests are met. See Step 4, Is Your Qualifying Relative
Your Dependent, under Who Qualifies as Your Dependent, in the Instructions for
Form 1040.
5. Each other eligible person who paid over 10% of the support agrees not to
claim that person as a dependent by giving you a signed statement. See Signed
Statement on this page.
Note: To find out what is included in support, see Pub. 501.

Signed Statement
You must have received, from each other eligible person listed above, a signed
statement waiving his or her right to claim the person as a dependent for the
calendar year indicated on this form. The statement must include:
• The calendar year the waiver applies to,
• The name of your qualifying relative the eligible person helped to support, and
• The eligible person’s name, address, and social security number.

Use Form 2120 to:
• Identify each other eligible person (see below) who paid over 10% of the support
of your qualifying relative whom you are claiming as a dependent, and
• Indicate that you have a signed statement from each other eligible person
waiving his or her right to claim that person as a dependent.
An eligible person is someone who could have claimed a person as a dependent
except that he or she didn’t pay over half of that person’s support.
If there are more than four other eligible persons, attach a statement to your
return with the required information.
Note: The rules for multiple support agreements apply to claiming an exemption
for a qualifying relative and don’t apply to claiming an exemption for a qualifying
child. For the definitions of “qualifying relative” and “qualifying child,” see the
instructions for your tax return and Pub. 501.

Claiming a Qualifying Relative
Generally, to claim a person as a qualifying relative, you must pay over half of that
person’s support. However, even if you didn’t meet this support test, you may be
able to claim him or her as a dependent if all five of the following apply.
1. You and one or more other eligible person(s) (see above) together paid over
half of that person’s support.
2. You paid over 10% of the support.

Don’t file the signed statement with your return. You must keep it for your records
and be prepared to furnish it and any other information necessary to show that you
qualify to claim the person as your dependent.

Additional Information
See Pub. 501 for details.

us the information. We need it to ensure that you are complying with these laws
and to allow us to figure and collect the right amount of tax.
