Possibly. If they meet the criteria to be claimed as a qualifying relative, then yes you can claim the Other Dependent Credit. There is not an elderly parent caregiver credit.
To claim someone as a Qualifying Relative, they must be:
- Your parent or grandparents, including step parents and in laws
- Any other person that lived with you for the entire tax year
- Not a qualifying child of another taxpayer
- Someone that you provided over half of their support for during the tax year
- Has less than $5,050 in income (not counting social security)
