Are there any tax deductions I can claim if my in-laws move in with me temporarily?
My in-laws recently found themselves in a bit of a bind after unemployment/foreclosure and will be temporarily moving in with my husband and me. All told right now there are 2 additional adults and 4 additional kids living with us, although in September one of the kids is going to college.
We are not charging the family rent or receiving any sort of reimbursement from them, but having 6 extra people does increase our expenses (utilities and groceries primarily). Without claiming our long-term house guests as dependents, are any of these additional expenses tax deductible?

No. And to claim them as dependents you'd need to show that you provide more than half of their support for more than half a year (i.e.: you feed them, by them clothes, drive them around, etc. Lodging is part of that as well).
