    WHO CAN I CLAIM AS A DEPENDENT?

     

    You can claim a child, relative, friend, fiance (etc.) as a dependent on your 2019 taxes as long as they meet the following requirements:

    Qualifying child

    • They are related to you.
    • They cannot be claimed as a dependent by someone else.
    • They are a U.S. citizen, resident alien, national, or a Canadian or   Mexican resident.
    • They are not filing a joint return with their spouse.
    • They are under the age of 19 (or 24 for full-time students).
      • No age limit for permanently and totally disabled children
    •       They live with you for more than half the year (exceptions apply).

    Qualifying relative

    • They don't have to be related to you (despite the name).
    • They cannot be claimed as a dependent by someone else.
    • They are a U.S. citizen, resident alien, national, or a Canadian or Mexican resident.
    • They are not filing a joint return with their spouse.

    • They lived with you the entire year.

    • They made less than $4300  (not counting Social Security)
    • You provided more than half of their financial support. More info

    When you add someone as a dependent, we'll ask a series of questions to make sure you can claim them.

    • Does a dependent have to live with me?

    • What does "financially support another person" mean?

    • Can I claim a newborn baby?
