Can I claim my parents as dependent?
Here's my unique situation with my parents that makes this tricky:
- My parents came to the US in 4/2023 as tourist visa
- My sister sponsor them for green card in 7/2023.
- I applied CoveredCA for them (only them as my family have separate insurance) under my name starting 7/2023 till the rest of the year w/o any ATPC
- They stayed with me pretty much since April
- They don't have any income
Question I have:
- For tax purposes, can I claim them as my dependent? I'm not clear if they're considered as US resident or not.
- Can I claim their medical bill I paid for them if they're not my dependent?
- If I can't claim them as my dependent, what do I do w/ the 1095A file that I received since it's under my name?
