Question

We live in CA, my disabled father lives in WA. We've paid all expenses for 3 yrs, but have never claimed him as a Dependent. Should we do this? How do we do this?

He is 77 and makes less than $15K annual income.

A parent does not have to live with you to be claimed as a dependent. The main factors are whether you provided for more than half your disabled father's support and whether he made less than $4,300 in taxable income.

 

Use the IRS app to find out: Whom May I Claim as a Dependent?
