It depends. Your cousin must meet the following requirements to claim him on your tax return as qualifying relative.
- He cannot be claimed as a dependent on someone else’s tax return
- He must be a U.S. citizen, resident alien, national, or a Canadian or Mexican resident
- He cannot file a joint tax return with his spouse if married
- He must have lived with you for the entire year
- He must have made less than $4,400 in 2022
- You must have provided more than half of his financial support.
TurboTax will ask you a series of questions when you add your cousin as a dependent to ensure that you claim him. Make sure that you have his SSN and birthdate available.
