I 100% support my Mother, how do I claim her.

Hello, 

I support my mother to almost the fullest, until she receives her Disability. Its pending right now, so in the meantime I pay all her rent, which is 800+, and I drive her to all her appointments and try my best to cover anything her Medicaid cant. Which, I mainly pay co-pays, medications co-pays, and things such as her Cain, her Walker and other similar items. Sometimes food, but only when her food stamps can't deliver for the entire month, they do give her a decent amount, however near the end of the month I have to pick up some lose ends. Otherwise, I fully support her, and live with her. I have been doing this since 2018, but apparently I wasn't eligible for head of household last year.

 

My question is, does she fall under Dependant? And would I receive a tax credit for her? Just making sure I am filing correctly.
