My aunt's 43 year old daughter has been living with her for many years. The daughter (my cousin) doesn't work, and isn't receiving any disability or any other income. She does not got to school, so not a full time student. Can she be claimed on my Aunt's return as a dependent? My Aunt provides all her support.

If the daughter meets all the requirements under the Qualifying Relative rules your Aunt can claim her as a dependent on her tax return. She would receive a $500 Other Dependent tax credit.
To be a Qualifying Relative -
1. The person cannot be your qualifying child or the qualifying child of any other taxpayer. A child is not the qualifying child of any other taxpayer if the child's parent (or any other person for whom the child is defined as a qualifying child) is not required to file an income tax return or files an income tax return only to get a refund on income tax withheld.
2. The person either (a) must be related to you or (b) must live with you all year as a member of your household.
3. The person's gross income for the year must be less than $4,300 (social security does not count) in 2020
4. You must provide more than half of the person's total support for the year.
5. The person must be a U.S. citizen or a U.S., Canada, or Mexico resident for some part of the year.
6. The person must not file a joint return with their spouse.
Thanks for the quick response. I wasn't sure if there was an age limit on it or not.
