“If Obama was a U.S. citizen in 1973, then he would have been eligible to be named as a dependent on Lolo and SAD Soetoro’s 1973 tax return.”
All:
I am a retired CPA. I found and checked to dependency exemption requirements in 1973. There is NO US citizen requirement for a child or grandchild living in the home with the filer or for whom 50% of the support of the child is provided, and only one party can claim the child.
Therefore either Lolo and Ann on their joint return or the Dunham grandparents could have claimed him, but not both, regardless of his citizenship.
We have the 1973 joint returm for Lolo and Ann and although they didn’t check the box for any dependent children on the first page of the return the did take the exemption for Maya but not Barry. This has NOTHING to do with custody or citizenship.
There is no credible evidence that Barry was NOT a US citizen in 1973 that I have seen.
Seizure is picking and choosing facts to suit his agenda.
Obama was enrolled Jan. 1, 1968 as an Indonesian National at St. Francis Assisi Elementary school.
A reporter interviewed Obama’s sister about family history and reported Obama began living with his grandparents in 1976 because Maya and her mother moved back to Indonesia. The article indicates Maya and her mother were living in Hawaii from 1973 to 1976 without Lolo. The article makes it clear Obama was living with his grandparents while attended high school.
This doesn’t suit Seizure and Brown Deer’s agenda, so it is ignored. Seizure and Brown Deer don’t have proof the Dunham’s took an exemption for Obama on their 1973 tax return, they only assume it because they would have to admit their wrong if they don’t.
