Even in the midst of Gotham’s chaos, even I must keep an eye on the finer details—like tax deductions. Yes, I claim Robin as a dependent. While our partnership is more than just a typical familial arrangement, under IRS rules, a dependent isn’t limited to blood relations. If Robin qualifies as my ward and I provide more than half of his support, then he meets the criteria.

Of course, the IRS might raise an eyebrow at a dynamic duo patrolling Gotham and filing taxes together. But with a meticulous CPA—my very own Alfred of accounting—our sidekick’s status is as well-documented as every gadget in the Batcave. Every crime-fighting expense, every training session, and yes, even every late-night stakeout is backed by proper records.

So while Gotham’s underworld may be rife with chaos, rest assured that my tax strategy is as methodical as my pursuit of justice. Robin may be the Boy Wonder on the streets, but on tax forms, he’s my carefully claimed dependent—proving that even heroes must respect the rules of the IRS.
