Yes. Any income "counts" except for Social Security.

Yes, royalties count as income for a qualifying relative dependent.

Please review the TurboTax Help article Who can I claim as my dependent? and the IRS Publication 501 on Dependents, Standard Deduction, and Filing Information.

Does the required distribution from an IRA considered income ? I am trying to determine if my daughter (whom I live with) can claim me as her dependent.
