2016 was the first year I supported my mother. She lives with me and pay for more than half of her living expenses. She gets social security and a small survivors pension that was my dads of $344 a month, $4128 a year. I'm told the social security is not taxable and I'm told that the pension is not taxable, although she did get a W2 from the company. I know the cut off for 2016 is $4050 to claim a parent, is this small pension that she gets, $4128, taxable so that I can't claim her. There is a $78 difference. Any thoughts or advice is appreciated.
