I am claiming my parents as dependents as well as my brother who has special needs. We all live together. My dad is retired. My mom receives IHHS ( In-home support services for caring for my brother. I'm aware that wages received by IHSS providers who live with the recipient are not considered as gross income. My mother received a W-2 and she will file taxes (as married) to report the income as non-taxable. Can I still claim my mom and my dad even if they file to report the IHHS income and report that they can be claimed as a depended by someone else? Last year, my taxes were rejected because we both listed my dad in each of our taxes. My mother listed him as her spouse and I did as a dependent (parent). I want to file the taxes properly. Any advice is very much appreciated. Thank you.
