If you are able to claim her as a dependent on your tax return, you can claim her medical expenses too. The amount she can earn for 2015 is $4,000.
Here are
some of the basic rules:
- Have been a citizen or resident of the
United States, or a resident of Canada or Mexico.
- Did not file a joint income tax return with
anyone else.
- Received more than half his or her support from
you.
- Had less than $4,000 of income for the
entire year. (Generally that amount does
not include Social Security benefits.)
Turbo Tax does an excellent job with
determining who qualifies as a dependent.
Can I claim my relative or friend as a dependent?
