After you file

You say you are in HER house-----a house that she owns and pays the expenses for?   Can you say that you pay for over half her support---including the expenses for the home?

 

What you "get" if you can claim her is a $500 credit for other dependents.   Claiming your mother does not get you stimulus money---you only get stimulus money for a dependent who is 16 or younger.  And claiming her makes her ineligible for a stimulus check since dependents do not get stimulus money.
