Hello alofton1,

Thank you for your question. I am happy to assist you.

There is no maximum number of dependents you can claim. You may claim as many eligible dependents you may have. However, there are no longer any exemptions for the taxpayers or their dependents, but you will receive tax benefits for claiming dependents on your tax return.

However, there are certain rules that you would need to follow for claiming a dependent on your tax return. Please view the below link:

Please let me know if this answers your questions, or if I can be of further assistance.

Thank you!
