I took care of my mother in the hospital bed in my living room for two years. I paid for everything from whatever I had left over my savings account. I was not paid by a company I didn’t know I could be. I also bought a car used in October 2023 an eye on it. I registered and and insured it does that count

No, your car does not count as a personal deduction.

You can claim your mother as a dependent if you provided more than half of her support for the year and she did not have more than $4,700 in taxable income.

To claim someone as a Qualifying Relative, they must be:

Your child ( including step children, adoptive children and foster children) or a descendent of them
Your sibling (including half siblings) or a child of your sibling or a sibling-in-law
Your parent or grandparents, including step parents and in laws
Any other person that lived with you for the entire tax year
Not a qualifying child of another taxpayer
Someone that you provided over half of their support for during the tax year
Has less than $4,700 in income (not counting social security)
