Deductions & credits

@NCperson   The question was asking about the "Other Dependent Credit", not whether or not they could claim the person as a dependent.  They have different rules.

 

So yes, a Citizen or Resident of Mexico and Canada can qualify as a Dependent.  But that dependent does NOT qualify for the $500 "Other Dependent Credit".  That requires the dependent to be a US Citizen, Resident, or National.
