As I stated in my post, I realize that I can't claim him as my dependent but it is allowing me to claim the earned income credit for him as a non-dependent! The only reason I even tried is because a friend told me she's claimed her disabled brother like that for years & told me I should be able to claim my nephew the same way & it looks like she's right! I just don't want them to come back on me for any reason later on!
