What was the 25,284 from? 25,000 is more than 4,400. If she only got Social Security it doesn't count towards the 4,400.

You have not mentioned what the source of your mom's income was. If she received more than $4400 --NOT counting Social Security---then you may be able to claim her as a qualified relative. If her income was more than $4400 from other sources -- like working, a pension, retirement accounts, etc.---she cannot be claimed as anyone else's dependent.
