Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Hello!

 

I am from Michigan and my mother-in-law lives with us.  I claim her as a dependent on my income tax returns as she has no income.  My wife is a student with no income.  The family of (4) me, wife, child, mother-in-law adjusted gross income is $53k.  I would like to apply for Medicaid for my mother-in-law, will having her as a dependent on my income taxes effect her eligibility?  Will she be eligible for Michigan Medicaid if I claim her as a dependent or would it be better to not claim her?

 

Thank you for your help!  It is greatly appreciated.
