Can I claim my brother as a dependent if I work for him through a third party company, that pays me?

Possibly. If you provide over half of his support.

To claim someone as a Qualifying Relative, they must be:

Your child ( including step children, adoptive children and foster children) or a descendent of them
Your sibling (including half siblings) or a child of your sibling or a sibling-in-law
Your parent or grandparents, including step parents and in laws
Any other person that lived with you for the entire tax year
Not a qualifying child of another taxpayer
Someone that you provided over half of their support for during the tax year
Has less than $4,700 in income (not counting social security)

Yes, thank you.
