Deductions & credits

The first-year choice doesn't apply to dependents, just to a spouse. !! Your sister and niece do not qualify to be your dependent in 2024 but will qualify in 2025 if they continue to live with you.

 

Be sure to get Social Security Numbers for your sister and niece so you can file electronically in 2025.
