Does he qualify to be your dependent?

 

You can claim him as a dependent on your taxes as long as all of the following requirements are met :

  • You provided more than half of their financial support. More info
  • They made less than $4,300 in gross income during 2020
  • They live with you the entire year 
  • They are a U.S. citizen, resident alien, national, or a Canadian or Mexican resident.
  • They aren't (or won't be) claimed as a dependent by someone else.
  • They aren’t filing a joint return with their spouse.
  • You are not being claimed as a dependent on someone else's return.

If he is a full-time student, the income test is not applicable.
