Okay, here's one for you...

I put my fiancee on my employer's medical coverage for domestic partners. I pay about $1500 a year towards it with the company picking up the rest (about $5k). The employer's contribution counts towards my "Salary" for tax purposes obviously.

She didn't have a job when I put her on my plan but in Feb of last year she got one that offered benefits but they were more expensive and offered less flexibility so she stayed on mine. She is 26 years old and works full time. Can I get credit for any of what I pay for her in my filing? Can she be claimed as a "dependent"?
