Dude, that's bullshit. You can claim him as a dependent because he was a fucking dependent, not because he graciously allows you to claim him. If he files for himself, and you file for him as a dependent, and one of you ever gets audited, they can look into the reality of the situation... which is that he lived with you more than half the year and he had no job and you weren't married. Thus, he was a dependent, and they will come down on his ass for
his illegal tax return.
Besides that, a dependent will get you a bigger refund, it's true, but it's not going to double it. Don't let this asshole take half your money and think he's doing you a favor! Seriously, I want to go kick him in the cunt right now, especially for sending you a picture of your cat just to make you more vulnerable before asking for your money. And you can tell him I said that.
