Get your taxes done using TurboTax

No one here can give you a direct answer to your question about whether you can claim your boys as dependents.  The main question is whether the funds that they receive provided over half of their total support.  If it did, then they do not qualify as your qualifying child dependent.  

 

You can use the worksheet linked below to compare their support and the support you provide to determine the answer to your question.  This is not something you would file with your tax return, just keep it for your own records.
