Solved
My mother fell ill and I have been supporting her and her home care needs and such. Can I claim her on my taxes this year? And if so how do I present that on my taxes?
Generally, you can claim your parent if they didn't have more than $4,050 in gross income (excluding nontaxable Social Security) and you provided more than half of their support. Your parent doesn't have to live with you. There are a few other specifics, but we'll ask you as we go along.
To add or remove a dependent, you need to revisit the Dependents section in TurboTax Online, here's what you do:
- Open (continue) your return if you don't already have it open.
- Search for personal information and then click the "Jump to" link in the search results.
- Follow the onscreen instructions to add or remove a dependent.
