Do you live together? Did you live together ALL of 2024? If not, you cannot claim her as a dependent.
If you did and she made less than $5,050 for the entire year, and pay over half of her support you can add her as a dependent for the $500 Non Refundable Other Dependent Credit. You will do this on the personal info page by selecting add a dependent.
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 $5,050 in income (not counting social security)
