GROSS INCOME ? She doesnt work, what other than a job qualifies as income - she doesnt own property or stocks not even a 401 - her husband died and i started taken care of her since she did get a workmans comp from him does that count.
Workman's compensation is not reported on a tax return, it is not taxable income.
Taxable income would be wages from work, income from self-employment, interest, dividend or investment income, income from a pension, annuity or IRA.
If the Only income she receives is the Social Security benefits and you provide over one-half of her support then she would be eligible to be your dependent.
