    Sorry---no.   If they had income over $4700 not including Social Security, you cannot claim them as a dependent.   Depending on the amount of winnings---they might need to file their own return.

     

     

    Who has to file?

      If they are age 19 or older, not a full time student and their gross income in 2023 was $4,700 or more you cannot claim them as a dependent.

      Gambling winnings are taxable income so if the amount of winnings is $4,700 or more that precludes you from claiming them as a dependent.
