Who Can I Claim As Your Dependent?

A dependent is someone you support.

You must have provided at least half of the person’s total support for the year — food, shelter, clothing, etc.

 

Here Is A Quick Way To Claim Your  Dependent

1. They’re related to you.
2. They aren’t claimed as dependent by someone else.
3. They’re a U.S. citizen, resident alien, national, or a Canadian or Mexican resident.
4. They lived with you for more than half the year (exceptions apply) and they didn’t provide more than half of their own support for the year.

When you add someone as a dependent, they may be other tax benefits you can get when you claim a dependent.
