Hello Dukeearl05,
Thank you for entrusting us with your question! I am happy to answer your question. To claim your mother-in-law as a dependent she would have to qualify as a relative dependent. In order for her to qualify as a relative dependent she must meet the following:
- She would have to receive less than $4,400 gross income in 2022
- Receive more than 50% of her support from you
- Not be claimed as dependent by another taxpayer
- Not file a joint return with another taxpayer
I hope this answers your question. Please feel free to reach back if you have further questions.
Cheers,
Laura_CPA
