However, he may qualify for the $500 Credit for Other Dependents.

 

This credit can be claimed for dependents who:

  • Are of any age, including those who are age 18 or older.
  • Have Social Security numbers or individual taxpayer identification numbers.
  • Are parents or other qualifying relatives supported by the taxpayer.
  • Live with the taxpayer but aren't related to the taxpayer.
  • Are U.S. citizens, nationals or resident aliens.

The credit begins to phase out when the taxpayer's income is above $200,000. This phaseout begins at $400,000 for married couples filing a joint tax return.
