Probably.

You can claim a person with disabilities as a dependent when: 

  • They have lived with you for more than half of the tax year. 
  • You have provided at least half of their support for the tax year. 
  • They are either your: child, stepchild, foster child, or a descendant of these

Please contact us again with any additional questions or to provide some additional details.
