where to add parents as dependent

[martingale22]

I'm using turbotax premier, where in deduction should I put elderly parents as dependent for deduction?

Tried to find it in You and Your Family \ Child and other dependent tax credit but didn't have an option to add parents.

thanks

On the screen asking Who do you support select Another person.  From the dropdown select Parent.

If you are claiming your parents as dependents, they would be a qualifying relative.  You would enter them in the Personal Information screen to add another dependent. 

                                                     

See the rules below to see if you qualify.

Qualifying relative:

• They don't have to be related to you (despite the name).
• They aren't claimed as a dependent by someone else.
• They're a US citizen, resident alien, national, or a Canadian or Mexican resident.
• They aren’t filing a joint return with their spouse.
• They lived with you the entire year (exceptions apply).
• They made less than $4,700 in 2023.
• You provided more than half of their financial support.
  • Review Worksheet 2 for Determining Support

When you add someone as a dependent, we'll ask a series of questions to make sure you can claim them. There may be other tax benefits you can get when you claim a dependent.
