Deceased Dependent

I have been the sole care taker of my mother of the last 9 years.  She passed away on 05/18/2020.  Can I still claim her as a dependent for the 5 months she was alive in 2020?

Yes you can.  Make sure that you indicate that the dependent passed away and the date of their passing.

I've done this.  Just wondering why the IRS keeps rejecting my return?
