Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Did the 16 year old provide more than half of the support for her siblings for the entire year? While possible, I doubt it. More than likely I would expect more than half of their support came from 3rd party sources such as WIC or even welfare. I also question if the 16 year old can be claimed on someone else's return, regardless of weather that "someone else" files a tax return or not.
