Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is not the same thing as Social Security income. According to the IRS, recipients of SSI are not required to report their SSI benefits on their tax returns and, in fact, they cannot report it. Neither myself nor my mother pay for more than half of living expenses with earned income. Taking into account all the facts I have stated thus far, can you help me determine if the following statements are true or false? Normally I would be able to determine this myself, but filing my 2020 tax return has been a very confusing process and I don't think I ever could have been ready for it.

 

True or false: My mother can claim me as a dependent on her tax return. (She is a non-filer and has no earned income whatsoever.)

As you know, she will not claim me as a dependent even if she can. No one will claim me as a dependent.
