Can I claim my brother as a dependent if he received income from 1099 misc. and from a 1099 in 2018? Or will he have to file a separate return?

He received (as did I) a 1099 misc. for $400.91 and one for $18.15 these were both oil/gas royalties on property that we have a share in the mineral rights. Also, on some property that we own, we each received a 1099s for the sale of a small piece of that property for a pipeline easement. We each received $12,286 for this. So how do I report this income, and because of the total being $12,705.06 will I not be able to have him as a dependent on my taxes? Thanks.

How old is he? How old are you? Are either of you students?

Is this the same brother you asked about last year?

Last year you said he was a dependent, and this year you are asking if he can be. What changed? Was it the one time 1099-S?

Yes. I asked because I thought he was only allowed a certain amount of income to qualify as a dependent.

It depends on his age, whether he is a student, etc.

No, you cannot claim him as a dependent since his income...

No, you cannot claim him as a dependent since his income was over $4,150 and he is not a student under 24.
