Get your taxes done using TurboTax

If you pay for over half your mom's support and her income is less than $4300   ---- NOT counting Social Security --- then you can claim her as a dependent.  If she is getting Social Security disability you do not count that toward the $4300 limit.   You only count other income like a pension, investment income, etc. etc. etc.
