You may be able to claim a relative over 18 who is an SSI or Social Security recipient as a dependent and receive the Credit for Other Dependents if you meet the test for a qualifying relative per Table 5 from IRS Publication 501 at this link.

 

See here for more information from the Social Security Administration on SSI. The Gross Income of an adult SSI recipient would affect SSI benefits but not support received from a relative. 

 

See this article for more information on qualified dependents. Enter dependent information in the Personal Info section of TurboTax.
