  • You are related to them
  • You aren't claimed by someone else
  • You're a US citizen, resident alien, national, or Canadian or Mexican resident
  • You aren't filing a joint return with a spouse
  • You're under 19 or 24 years old if you are a full time student
  • You live with them for over half of the year (except for temporary absences for college)
  • You didn't provide more than half of your own support
