Thanks for your response. But I read online that there are some exceptions like "If your parent files a joint tax return solely to get a refund, you can claim him or her as a dependent. Your parent must not have a gross income of $4,300 (in 2021) a year or more."
Can I claim him as a dependent under this condition?
If their 2021 Adjusted Gross Income on the joint tax return was greater than $25,100 or if both were age 65 or older $27,800 then they were required to file a tax return and the exception would not apply.
If that is not the case, you still must provide over one-half his support to claim him as a dependent.
Use the support worksheet form IRS Publication 501 page 16 - https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p501.pdf#page=16
