My son gets SSI because of his disability and he does not work. For 2018, he received $14,700.00 in SSI benefits for his only income. He is 35 and lives with me. Can I carry him as a dependent on my 2018 income tax return?

It sounds like you qualify to claim him based on his income. However, the eligibility requirements are different depending on if he is permanently disabled or not. He must qualify as your dependent under one of the sets of rules below.
