Hello,

My mother is neither a US citizen or a permanent resident and she lives overseas and does not live with me. After the death of my father, I have been responsible for her living and medical expenses.

1. Can I claim my mother as a dependent in my next year tax return?

2. Can I claim some or all of her medical expenses in my next year tax return?

Regards

To claim someone as a dependent on a US Federal Income Tax return they must be a US citizen or resident of the US, Canada or Mexico for some part of the year.
